SAMUEL MUMPER, is a son of John and Jennie (Beelman) Mumper, of Monaghan 
Township, was born March 16, 1825, and grew to manhood on the home farm, 
attending the district and select schools in his youth.  In 1866 he began farming 
on the old homestead, which he soon after purchased, and remodeled the dwelling 
and built a new barn, carriage house and other out-buildings.  The place 
comprises 110 acres, all under cultivation.  February 7, 1867, he married Mary 
E., daughter of George and Lizzie King, of Washington Township.  To this marriage 
have been born three daughters:  Bertha M., Annie K. and Katie L.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Mumper are members of the Dillsburg Lutheran Church, having joined about 1878.  
Mr. Mumper is a prosperous agriculturist and has also been largely engaged in 
extracting iron ore, etc., having spent all his life in this vicinity, with the 
exception of a trip, in 1866, to Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and other parts of the 
country.
