Death of John Mumaw
John Mumaw, who for many years managed the "Weaver Farm" in Butler township,
died around noon on Sunday, just eight days after his son Frank had
committed suicide by hanging himself in the barn. Mr. Mumaw had been
seriously ill for the past several weeks with rheumatism and dropsy. Worry
over the act of his son undermined his weakened condition and hastened the
end.

Few men were better known or had more friends in the valley than John Mumaw.
He was a man of generous impulses. He was a devoted husband and a kind and
indulgent father; a good neighbor, but the greates of all he was a man, and
to his friends, the soul of fellowship. Surviving him are his wife and three
sons, Charles, Oscar and Ray.

Mr. Mumaw was born in Conyngham Valley 58 years ago. He always resided
there. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon. Services were conducted in
the Reformed church by Rev. Hartzell, followed by burial in the adjoining
cemetery.
