    MILTON S. MUMMA. Cumberland county, Pa., is one of the best developed
  farming districts of the Keystone state, and in the township of Silver Spring
  are found many who have successfully carried on that calling for years, among
  whom may be men-

    CUMBERLAND COUNTY.  813

  tioned Milton S. Mumma, born one mile north of Mechanicsburg, Oct. 5, 1858,
  son of Martin and Catherine (Shelly) Mumma, prominent people of that locality.

    Milton S. Mumma was reared upon the farm he now owns, and was well-educated
  in the district schools, after which he chose to be a farmer, and he now owns
  the old Mumma homestead of 100 acres, well improved and in a good state of
  cultivation, and he has been eminently successful in all his operations.

    On Dec. 23, 1880, Mr. Mumma married Miss Sarah Ellen Eberly, daughter of
  Joseph and Sarah Eberly, of Hampden township. The Eberly family is one of the
  oldest in Cumberland county. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs.
  Mumma: C. Romaine, Mary Ellen, Martin Eberly and Sarah E. Mr. Mumma is a
  member of the Republican party, but has not as yet been very active in local
  affairs. He is very prominent in the Silver Spring Presbyterian Church, of
  which he is a consistent member and treasurer, as well as member of the board
  of trustees and an elder. Mr. Mumma is a man of sober, temperate habits, is
  industrious and enterprising, and has won the full confidence of his
  neighborhood.
