Nearly seventy years ago was born Margaret PLOEHN, in Germany, where she lived during her early girlhood, and came to this country on approaching maturity, and after having lived in this city some two years in 1870, was united in marriage, with Peter MUMM, living all the married life in this city.

Mrs. Mumm was a woman with exemplary habits, and loved by all who knew her. Mrs. Mumm has been a woman with good health, and was in her usual health until but a short time since, when she was afflicted by neuralgia of the heart, which has given her much pain during the past few weeks. Notwithstanding this she was able to be around and even down town. Yesterday morning she complained of severe pains in the region of the heart, when a physician was called who upon a searching examination said the heart was badly affected, and that there would be but little hope of her recovery. Mrs. Mumm grew worse during the day, and as the day drew towards its close, her spirit took its flight to that other world, where the pain and suffering never come. A wire from Henry Mumm, the oldest, said he will arrive here Thursday evening, and by that time it is expected that all the other children will be here.
