"Mr. Samuel Mumma, Jr., a son of Samuel Mumma Sr., resided in the Mumma buildings, near the Dunker Church that were burned by the Confederates after they had been driven from them, to keep the Union sharp-shooters from using them. Mr. Mumma said every thing except a few small trinkets they took with them was burned. Some of the daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Grove of this place and Miss Allie Mumma, said when they were told to leave, a Confederate soldier who wanted to be gallant offered his assistance in helping them over the fence, but they were too angry because they had to leave and refused his assistance. They went to the Hoffman farm and then near the Manor church.
