   L. H. STALCUP, a leading merchant of Bloomfield, and son of Bennett and Lydia
(Pagett) Stalcup, of Highland Township, was born in Greene County, Ind., January
31, 1847. He was raised on his parents' farm, receiving only an ordinary
education, and in 1869 came to Bloomfield a poor boy. For three years, he was
employed as clerk in the dry goods store of W. W. Gainey, but in 1873, with what
little means he had and with a good credit, he purchased the Horner dry goods
store for $3,300. Possessing all the requirements of a successful merchant, Mr.
Stalcup has made his business a success in every particular. He now carries an
average stock of about $9,000, and his average annual sales will reach $27,000.
His success in business is due to a courteous treatment and honorable dealings
with all people, regardless of age and social position. Mr. Stalcup was married
to Miss Blanche Osborn in 1874, and they have two children—Minnie and Pearl.
