Mumaw.- Russell Joseph Mumaw was born at Orrville, Ohio, Sept. 8, 1905; died July 14, 1927, at the Mount Pleasant Memorial Hospital, Mt. Pleasant, Pa., following an operation for appendicitis; aged 21 y. 10 m. 6 d. He was preceded in death by a sister who died in infancy, and by his mother, Fannie Elizabeth, who died January 10, 1921. He is survived by his father, Levi Mumaw, his step-mother, three grandparents, and many other relatives and friends. He was baptized and united with the Mennonite Church at Scottdale, Pa., in 1916, and has been a faithful member of the Church until his call to a higher service. Russell graduated from Scottdale High School with the Class of 1923, after which he gave two years of service to the Mennonite Publishing House. He graduated from the Junior College at Harrisonburg, Va., in June of this year. He was a young man of pleasing personality and had won many friends in his home town, in school, and elsewhere. He was planning to take up a responsible position with the Shenandoah Manufacturing Co., of Harrisonburg, Va., and had intended to enter upon the duties of his position during the week of his death. He is much missed in his large circle of friends, and we can only explain this visitation by remembering that it is God's doing, and He is "too wise to err, too good to he unkind." Funeral services at Scottdale Mennonite Church on Saturday evening, July 16, were conduced by Brethren J. A. Ressler and A. D. Wenger. Text. Acts 20:24. His body was afterwards taken to Orrville, Ohio, where the remains were laid to rest in Martin's cemetery, by the side of his mother. Services by Bro. I. W. Royer assisted by Brethren David Hostetler. C. Z. Yoder. I. J. Buckwalter, and J. A. Ressler. Text, I Jno. 2 :14.
