ISABEL STUMP

  Mrs. Isabel T. Stump, daughter of the late Henry and Annie Thompson of Pekin, 
Md., and widow of the late Perry Stump, died Monday morning at 9:15 o'clock, at 
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harry Bittner, on North Street, with whom she was 
spending the summer.
  Mrs. Stump was a resident of Columbus, Ohio, having gone to that city after 
the death of her husband, who at the time of his death was a police officer 
here.  The Stumps removed from Lonaconing to Meyersdale over 20 years ago, Mr. 
Stump having been Lonaconing's first policeman.
  Mrs. Stump, with her parents, migrated to this country from Scotland when she 
was but five years of age.  They settled in Pekin, Md., where she spent her 
early years.  She was a faithful member of the Reformed Church, a good, kind and 
thoughtful mother and friend.  She was beloved by all who were fortunate enough 
to know her and will be mourned by many.
  For the last few years she suffered with arthritis which finally left her in 
such a crippled condition that she was a complete invalid.  At the time of her 
death she was 68 years old.
  She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Harry Bittner of Meyersdale and Mrs. 
George Lewis of Columbus, Ohio; two sons, Henry and John Stump, also of 
Columbus, Ohio; two sisters, Mrs. William Wiland, Akron, O., and Mrs. Anna 
Stewart, Lonaconing, Md., and nine grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
  Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at 2:30 at the Harry Bittner 
residence, by Rev. B. A. Black.  Interment was made in Laurel Hill Cemetery, 
Moscow, Md., with Undertakers R. Reich & Son in charge of the funeral 
arrangements.
  The pall-bearers were C. Howard Shockey, Ralph Barnett, James Campbell, David 
Spence, Ray Leckemby and James L. Wilson.
  Among those who came from distant places to attend the funeral services for 
Mrs. Isabel Stump were:  Mr. and Mrs. George Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. John Stump, Mr. 
and Mrs. Henry Stump, Columbus, Ohio; Perry and Robert Ginnevan, of Donora, Pa.; 
Mr. and Mrs. Harley Neil, West Springfield, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gillian, 
Connellsville; Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Vaughn and son, Parkersburg, W.Va.; Mr. and 
Mrs. Arthur Stewart, Sarah Stewart, John Stewart, Govin Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. 
John Smith, Mrs. Agnes Smith and husband, Lonaconing, Md., and Mrs. Andrew 
Moreland and daughter, Albany, N.Y.
