After Jacob Hiram Welty Mumma's wife, Susannah, died in 1883, Jacob became more involved with the Levi Stanley Gypsies of Dayton, Ohio. During the summers, the Stanley Gypsies would headquarter in Montgomery County where they would ply their trade in the local area. They were involved in many different activities including carpentry, painting, peddling, fortune telling and raising horses. Jacob was quite interested in their spiritualistic views and the ways of these gypsies. He allowed them to camp on his farm during the summers. Eventually, Jacob became involved with a Mrs. Ida Cripen, who was somehow associated with the Stanley Gypsies or she was a fortune teller/spiritualist. Eventually Jacob married her and she convinced him to sell/give the property to the Stanley Gypsies. After the sale of the property, she and he moved to Indiana. After a brief time, one of his sons, Simon, went to Indiana and retrieve him. On 5 Oct. 1888, Jacob Hiram Welty Mumma filed for divorce from Ida Mumma. The divorce papers state, "since the 21 day of Sept. 1886, Ida has been living in an adulterous intercourse with one Harry C. Beck in the city of Logansport, Indiana." The divorce was granted on 7 Feb 1889.

Go to my website database and search for Jacob Hiram Welty Mumma. On Jacob's page you will find additional background information about the Stanley Gypsies and their property interactions with Jacob. Jacob's homestead was always very unusual looking and after this time it became known as the "Gypsy House". It still stands at 2239 Kipling Ave, Dayton, Ohio. A photograph of the homestead is among the photographs shown on this memorial.
