Thomas Mummey was born in Brooke County, West Virginia, Feb. 12 1807, and settled in Morgan County in 1823, coming from Harrison County in this State. His father, Christopher Mummey, first settled in Meigsville Township, and after ten years removed to Windsor Township. His children were Thomas, Ellen, and Elizabeth. Thomas and Ellen are still living. Christopher died on the place now known as the Hutchins farm. Thomas was married in 1832 to Elizabeth, daughter of John Bell, and has since resided in Windsor Township. His children are Philena, John, and Ann. Mrs. Mummey was born in 1808 and died October 4, 1879.
The country was very wild when Mr. Mummey came to it, and he had his full share of pioneer experiences. He recalls being chased by wolves on one occasion, and another time by bears. From his father's home in Meigsville Township he was accustomed to go to the mill at Luke Chute, where sometimes he would have to wait two days before he could get his milling done. There were then no inhabitant on the route he traveled between Tyson's Run in Meigsville Township and Luke Chute, with the single exception of Thomas Tuft, who in 1823 lived in a cabin on the farm where Mr. Mummey now resides.
Lewis D. Sheets, a native of Indiana, married Ann
Mummey in 1855. Their children - John T. Eva J., Elmer E., Azelia
E., Elfrida P., and Clara A. - are all living. Mr. Sheets died
in April 1872, in the 36th year of his age.

Mt. Olivet M. P. Church - Mt. Olivet Society of the M. P. Church was organized November, 1840, with Cornelius Woodruff minister in charge, and Thomas Hill, Thomas Mummey, John Bell, Joseph Moorehouse and Robert Bell were trustees. The size of the house was 24x28, built at a cost of $150. The seats were made of slabs, which at first were laid on blocks, but were afterwards furnished with legs which projected above the seats. The original members of this class were: Thomas Hill and wife, Mrs. Ann Stillions, John Bell and wife, Mr. Wm. Davis, Thomas Mummey and wife, James Scott and wife, Joseph Moorehouse and wife, Wm. Ethel and wife, Mrs. Robert Henry and Evan McVeigh.
The pastors of the church before its rebuilding were Woodruff, Linder, Scott, Warren, Kingsberry, Baldwin, Piper, Joel and Israel Thrapp, Roquelet, Hissey, Nicholls, William and Jefferson Sears, Willis, Hoagland, Hastings, Warren, Case and Thomas Orr.
Thirty years after the organization the house was rebuilt, and dedicated September 18, 1870, by J. Woodward. The class then formed consisted of twenty-two members, of which Wm. Elliot was chosen leader.
The trustees were Thomas Mummey, Martin Sheets, Lewis Sheets, John McCracken, John Palmer, John McVeigh, and John Black.
Over 300 members have been received, of which only one original member remains, being Thomas Mummey, from whom the land was deeded upon ;which the church now stands surrounded by quite a spacious graveyard. The first occupant of this cemetery was James Longerbeam, aged 18, killed by lightning.
The ministers since the rebuilding were Woodward, Fisher, Hastings, Langley, Harrison, Cooper, Lancaster, Gray, F. A. Brown, W. S. Murphy, Sarchet, Meek, T. H. Scott, J. D. Murphy, D. C. Coburn, W. O. Scott, Holland Wert, and the present pastor, W. H. Dye. The class-book now registers 88 members. The Sabbath-school has been in excellent condition for four years past, with 75 scholars in attendance.
The church is situated on Olivet Ridge, Windsor Township,
about mid-way between Hooksburg and Luke Chute.
