Have you had access to the 2 page biography of Isma P Mumford in Dodd's "History of Gage County, Nebraska" published in 1918. This article tells that Elizabeth Mumford was the first white woman settler in Gage County and the mother of the first white male child born in the county. I can send you a copy of this article if you wish. DeLoris Jensby
