V. D. Mumford, a capable and worthy representative of the farming and stock raising interests of Miami county, is carrying on successful operations on a well-cultivated property located in Elizabeth township. He is a native of this county, born November 14, 1891, a son of George and Ellen (Boswell) Mumford, long-time residents of this part of the Miami valley and people highly esteemed by their associates. Mr. Mumford was educated in the public school in the neighborhood of the home place and grew to manhood in a family where honesty and industry were highly valued. When he reached man's estate he engaged in farming operations on his own account, and for a number of years has farmed his property in Elizabeth township, a tract upon which he has erected good buildings and made many substantial improvements. He has always taken a good citizen's part in civic affairs, being a loyal and liberal supporter of good movements, and this was particularly noticeable during the war period, no worthy cause being refused assistance at his hands. Mr. Mumford was united in marriage, January 21, 1914, with Mae, daughter of Walter and Jennie (Edenmiller) Tobias, and they have four children: Cecil L., Bernice M., Roger O. and Florence A. The pleasant and commodious home of Mr. and Mrs. Mumford is located on Casstown R. F. D. No. 2.
