The Daily Commonwealth, Covington, Ky., vol. III, no. 232, Saturday, February 26, 1881, p. 1, col. 4 (sub 'The Late Mrs. Lucy Porter'):
In noticing the death of this venerable and estimable lady, the Carlisle Mercury says:
Lucy L. Bruce was born at the old Bruce homestead, Bruce's Station, Fleming county, Ky., on the 6th of December, 1802, and was married to Col. Porter September 20, 1821. They moved to Carlisle in the spring of 1823, and Mr. Porter opened a dry goods store in the old stone house now owned by Henry Pickrell, Esq. The Porters remained about five years in Carlisle, doing a very successful business. They next moved to Flemingsburg, where they resided a number of years, still in business. Here Mr. Porter accumulated quite a fortune. About 1850 they moved to Covington to make that, as it proved to be, their last earthly home. The Porters lost two children in Covington - Colonel Bruce Porter, a prominent young lawyer, and John Daugherty Porter, a son named for our former townsman Boss Daugherty. Col. Porter died some six or seven years since. Mrs. Porter died from an attack of pleuro-pneumonia. She may truly be called a mother in Israel, having been a faithful member of the Baptist Church for more than half a century.
