Hi again,
I was working on stuff to add to the web site and thought
of you when I saw this. I would imagine that you have
already seen this, but thought I would send it along anyway.

DANIEL W. MUMEY, one of the prosperous
farmers of Henderson County, who owns and
operates three hundred and thirty-eight acres
of valuable land on section 19, township 12 north,
range 4 west, claims Ohio as the State of his nativity,
for his birth occurred in Pickaway County,
on the 14th of June, 185 1. His father, Solomon
Mumey, was a native of Pennsylvania. Having
attained to years of maturity, he married Lucinda
Winsted, and to them were born seven children,
six sons and a daughter, namely: William; David,
who resides in Wisconsin ; Daniel W. of this sketch ;
Joseph, a resident of Nebraska; Solomon, who is
located in the same State; Samuel, deceased; and
Mary, who died in infancy.

Daniel W. Mumey was a child of only six sum-
mers when he was brought by his parents to Illi-
nois. The family located in Henderson County,
upon the prairie, but after a short time removed
to a farm four miles northeast of Oquawka. where
the father purchased one hundred and twenty
acres of land, and began the cultivation and
de velopment of the farm. Our subject acquired his
education in the district schools of the neighbor-
hood, which he attended through the winter sea-
son, while in the summer months he aided in the
labors of the farm. He was reared to manhood
upon the old homestead, and has carried on agri-
cultural pursuits throughout his entire life. He
was early inured to the arduous labors of the field,
and became familiar with all the departments of
farm work; so that when he began business for
himself he had a stock of practical experience,
which proved of much value to him.

As a companion and helpmate on life's journey,
Mr. Mumey chose Miss Katie Welsh, a daughter
of John Welsh, their marriage being celebrated
on the 4th of June, 1870. By their union were
born seven children, five sons and two daughters:
John, Solomon, Mary, Ella, Daniel, Michael and
Peter, and with the exception of Daniel, who is
now deceased, all are with their parents. The
Mumey household is the abode of hospitality, and
the family is held in high regard throughout the
community.

In 1884, Mr. Mumey purchased a part of his
present farm, a tract of one hundred and twenty
acres, to which he has added from time to time,
until he now has three hundred and thirty-eight
acres of rich land, constituting one of the valuable
farms of this locality. Everything about the
place is neat and thrifty in appearance, and the
well -tilled fields and good improvements indicate
to the passer-by the careful supervision of the
owner. In his political views, Mr. Mumey is a
Democrat, and by his first Presidential vote sup-
ported Samuel J. Tilden. He has served as Town-
ship Supervisor and as School Director, and the
cause of education finds in him a warm friend.
Jean

Hi Jean
Thanks for the reply.
Samuel information is new to me. Thanks
Solomon Mumey went by Moomey till the 1870 s
The D B Mumey must be Daniel.
There should be Kate Mumey wife of Daniel

Lucinda and Solomon had William, Daniel, Joseph, David, Solomon,
Samuel and a Girl
Others say they had a son James Dexter but not sure.

Lucinda would be around 75 years old in 1898
it could be her
