Lucy Dumas
Mrs. Lucy Dumas, wife of Levi Dumas, of this city, died at her residence last Sunday morning at 3 o'clock, after a painful illness of two weeks, aged 46 years. The funeral rites were conducted at St. Paul's Church last Monday forenoon by Father O'Reilly, and the remains of a fond mother were followed by a large number of friends and neighbors to the silent grave in the Catholic burying-ground. A post mortem examination was held by several doctors, for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of her death, which they found to be a cancer of the stomach. She leaves a husband and ten children to mourn their loss.
