Additional Comments: Transcribed from the Kump / Degroft Family Bible The following entry was penned on an ornate form on the first page of the section set aside for family information. Insert of middle name added by the transcriber. Note: Family lore has Eva Sturtz and her sister being found in a field. Their parents were found dead at their home. The Kump family took Eva in and raised her has their own. Maggie and Eve became fast friends. Most likely because Maggie was born 12 years after her youngest sibling and Eve became her sister. They remained friends for many years. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/pafiles/ File size: 2.1 Kb
