From "Calhoun Chronicle", Calhoun County WV, 6 OCT 1896, posted by Norma Knotts Shaffer to www.wvgenweb.org: STUMP, LUCETTA The people of Grantsville and vicinity were greatly shocked last Tuesday morning, when the news of the death of Mrs. Lucetta Stump spread from house to house. She had been slightly indisposed for a day or two, but no one anticipated death so suddenly. At an early hour in the morning she spoke to her husband and complained of being very sick and before a physician could be summoned her pulse ceased to beat. Mrs. Stump was so well and favorably known to a large circle of friends that we feel unable to add one compliment to her well deserved good name, and only as a matter of public duty do we thus publicly acknowledge her worth and merit. When but a small boy we enjoyed her hospitality and we want to bear witness that, in our opinion, no boy or girl could receive better treatment from a mother than Mrs. Stump would graciously bestow. Funeral services from the family residence, Rev. "Bud" Smith officiating.
