He taught himself the rudimentary elements of photography, trained for a year (in St. Louis), operated a mobile studio (in the Missouri River Valley) and then opened his own brick and mortar photography business. Mumbrauer married Amelia Carey in 1873 and settled in Hermann in 1876. When Mumbrauer died in 1917, he was succeeded in his business by his son Charles George Mumbrauer who operated the business until his death in 1935.
