Saturday afternoon George Koch received a telegram from Boulder, Col., telling of the serious illness of Mr. Lawrence A. Stump, formerly of this city. The latter has been a resident of Cardinal, Col., for about a year and a half, where he has been acting in the capacity of manager of a mine in which a number of Bloomington men are interested. The telegram stated that he was suffering with a hemorrhage of the brain, and a later telegram received Sunday afternoon stated that his condition was more serious and requested that his wife come at once. The latter was preparing to go yesterday afternoon, and in the midst of her preparations another message was received telling of his death at 5 o’clock. No particulars were given as to the cause of his sudden illness, and many are inclined to believe that the hemorrhage was the result of an accident in the mine. There is nothing authentic in this, however.
The deceased was a man of about forty years and spent the greater portion of his life in this city. His father, Mr. Alexander Stump, for many years conducted a blacksmith shop on East Front street, and the son succeeded him in business, running the shop until a little over a year ago, when he moved west. His wife left for Boulder Sunday night at 9:45 and the body will be held until her arrival. The death of Mr. Stump occurred in a Boulder hospital, where he had been taken for treatment. Besides his wife he leaves a daughter of eleven years, and a sister, Mrs. Dudley Creed, of Normal. He was a member of the Red Men.
