Lucinda married William, Henery Yeager approx 1868. I beleive they had 9 children, Florance, William Cyrus, Lilly B,Sarah A,Mary C,Franklin M,Clarence, Harry and John I.
Lucinda's husband William died in 1916.
All the census records I have viewed indicate she was born in 1852 although her tombstone states 1850. I tend to go with the census.
My Uncle, William Fetterman remembers going to visit Lucinda, his g. grandmother. She lived in an old farm house in Bear Gap.
Lucinda's obit taken from "The Morning Press" Bloomsburg PA., Sat July 29, 1950, it reads:
