Her name should read, Virginia C. Woodford Poling Stump. According to the rules of genealogy research. Females birth surname is first, after given name with no parentheses, then last married name. Previous husband's surname are not shown in names at all, they are listed as husband or ex husband. Virginia is a rare case as her grave marker and most likelygraveyard records clearly indicate her last, legal name and genealogical reseachable name should easily be established to be Virginia C. Woodford Poling Stump. I know she first married Poling, as i am descendent of them. Because Poling is on the Graveyard record and the tombstone is why her first married name qualifies to be on genealogy researchable records. Just saying with an attempt to make researching easier for another generation that may not have resources to research these facts.
