He was reared to manhood on the home farm, and became a teamster on the old National Pike, abandoning this calling and becoming proprietor of a pottery, having learned the potter's trade in young manhood. He passed his latter years on a small farm in Nottingham township, Washington County, his death occurring when he had attained his eighty-fourth year.
He was always been a worker in the Democratic party, having cast a vote for Gen. Jackson. He served the township as school director. Mr. Sumny and his entire family, with a few exceptions, were members of the Presbyterian Church.
