He re-enlisted Feb. 22, 1864, and served until he was discharged March 12, 1866. During his second enlistment he was made a corporal. His regiment served on the western frontier and protected the settlers from the Indians who took advantage of the condition of the country during the rebellion.
About the time of their marriage he and Mrs. Mumford took a homestead 3 ½ miles north of Pawnee City, where they lived for forty-one years. During the past six years they have lived in Pawnee City.
Sister Mumford and Edwin Mumford survive the loss of a kind and considerate husband and father. He had two sisters and two brothers, all of whom preceded him.
Brother Mumford united with the Methodist church of Pawnee City by letter under the pastorate of F. L. Britt in the year 1870. He lived a faithful Christian life. During his long residence in the county he has made may friends. He will be greatly missed in the home, the church and the community.
