IS PNEUMONIA VICTIM
Well Known Claysville Woman Succumbs in Hospital Here After Illness, Which Had Start with Influenza.
After an illness of one week, Mrs. Eunice Maretta Condit McGlumphy, aged 73 years, wife of Robert B. McGlumphy, of Claysville, died in the Washington hospital at 2:30 A.M. yesterday. Death was due to pneumonia which developed from influenza. Mrs. McGlumphy came to Washington during the recent illness of her son-in-law, Gaylord K. Lewis, a member of The Observer news force who died Dec. 18. With her husband she spent Christmas with her son, George McGlumphy, of Shirls Ave.
Mr. McGlumphy, taken ill with the same Dease on Dec. 24 and still in the Washington hospital, is improving slowly. Mrs. McGlumphy was stricken two days later, and last Friday both were taken to the hospital.
Mrs. McGlumphy was a descendant of a pioneer family. John Condit came from England and settled near the present city of Newark, N. J., in 1??? (cannot read) , and from that time the family has taken prominent part in the affairs of the community wherever they reside. Thirteen members of the family fought in the Revolutionary War, and a monument was erected to them in New Jersey.
Mrs. McGlumphy was a daughter of Daniel Day and Phoebe Jewell Condit. She was born on a farm Oct. 12, 1855, near Nineveh, Greene County where her early life was spent until her marriage on September 12, 1875, with Robert B. McGlumphy. After her marriage she continued to reside at Nineveh until fourteen years ago when she and her husband removed to Claysville which has since been their home.
Her grandfather, Zenas Condit came to Washington county from New Jersey in 1800 and after residing here 15 years removed to Greene county, purchasing 400 acres of land on the Washington-Greene county line. Eighteen years later he sold this and purchased another farm two miles south of Nineveh.
Mrs. McGlumphy was one of ten children of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel D. Condit, only two of whom survive, Mrs. Charity Auld, of Prosperity, and Mrs. Alta E. Tombaugh, wife of W. Scott Tombaugh, of Scenery Hill.
She was a member of the Presbyterian church of Claysville.
In addition to her husband three children survive: George McGlumphy and Mrs. Gaylord K. Lewis, both of Washington, and Robert L. McGlumphy, of Claysville. Five grandchildren also survive.
Funeral services will be held at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon in the Claysville Presbyterian church, in charge of Rev. O. S. Fowler, pastor of that congregation. Interment will be in the Claysville Cemetery.
This is a copy of a newspaper clipping. A couple words were not very clear, those being the date that John got here from England and Zen?s the grandfather.
