MARY CUPP

  Mary (Lakel) Cupp, wife of Nelson N. Cupp, well known retired businessman of 
Somerset, and mother-in-law of Secretary of Internal Affairs William S. 
Livengood, Jr., passed away at 4:30 p.m., Friday, May 4th.  Had she lived one 
day more she would have been 70 years old.
  Daughter of the late Samuel E. and Martha (Mitchell) Lakel, she was born May 
5, 1875, in Addison.  Forty-five years ago she was united in marriage with N. N. 
Cupp, who was reared on a farm in Somerset Twp., and was a school teacher in 
young manhood.  Soon after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Cupp moved to Oxford, 
North Carolina, where Mr. Cupp was engaged in the lumbering business for many 
years before he returned to his native county with his family to make their home 
in Somerset where he was engaged in the feed and fertilizer business until his 
retirement several years ago.
  In June, 1944, Mrs. Cupp suffered a stroke of paralysis followed by lingering 
illness, finally resulting in her death.
  She was a devoted wife and mother and was highly esteemed by a large circle of 
friends.
  Surviving besides her husband are two daughters - Martha, wife of William S. 
Livengood, Jr., and Mrs. Elizabeth James, living with her parents since the 
recent death of her husband, John E. James; also a sister, Mrs. John W. Hester 
of Durham, N.C., and two grandchildren, Mrs. George E. Reedy at the present time 
living with her parents while her husband is serving overseas with the U.S. 
Army, and William S. Livengood, III, with the 12th airforce stationed in 
England.
  Funeral services will be conducted at the late residence on West Main Street 
at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon, by the Rev. Galen R. Blough, pastor of the Somerset 
Church of the Brethren of which the deceased was a devoted member.  Interment in 
Husband Cemetery in charge of Charles R. Hauger, mortician.
