Last Saturday evening as Romie
Greathouse and Ben Runion were
returning from hunt, and when in
sight Of home, the gun, Il mountain
rifle, was accidentally discharged
killing young Greenhouse instantly
1t seems the boys were crossing u
fence and as Runion jumped to the
ground, by some means the gun was
discharged, the ball entering near the
ear and ranging through the base of
the brain did its deadly work. Ro-
ME was about II years of age and
was the son of n. j. Greenhouse, who
lives ON Little Creek some 3 miles
east of town; he was an industrious,

JOHN STUMP DEAD.
Peacefully Away ut hts Home
In Charleston.

We are again confronted with
painful duty. The responsibility of
announcing the death of fellow citi.
zen and an attempt to pay some trib-
ute to- his memory must necessarily
be done in TIE face of fresh and
mighty sorrow. And under such try
ing circumstances the intellect fails
to comprehend such words as will ex-
press the grave and spontaneous emo
tiuns,
Rev. John Stump, who die,l at his
home in Charleston, last Wednesday
evening, is the subject of this feeble
attempt, and when we recall the fact
That the first gospel message the writ
er ever heard from the pulpit, so far
as he remembers, fell from the lips Of
this hunored seer some thirty-five
years ago, from the text: Give of
them were wise and five were foolish"
makes our anxiety to do the subject
justice greater, aud our ability 10 do
so less. Odd Father Stump" Il. he
WAS iamiliarly known in the later
years of his ministerial life, was born
III the year 1923, on Steer creek, in
Harrison, now Gilmer county. About
the year 1892 he married AIahala
Huffman. Several sons and daugh-
tiers were the result of this union.
Two of the sons, Leland and l.. j.,
are now physicians Of high rank, an
other, NJ. B., is minister of no mean
ability, another, Minter, is farmer
and an Ill round good citizen, and
another, a. H., represented this
county in the Legislature OF his
State Il few years ago, and was elect
ed the first mayor of Grantsville.
Space forbids mention of the daught.
ers further than tn say that they were
and are highly respected.
Almost 55 years agI he began hi:
ministerial career and as revivalisl
and successful! pastor he ranked high
from the time Of his ordination. lie
bIazed the way for the dissemination
of the gospel i'll many of the interior
counties of the State, and we might
add, with degree of confidence in
the truth of the statement, that hi.
ministerial duties called him: to al
most every county in the State. He
was for great many years Mpdera.
tor of the Mt PiSgah Baptist Associ
alton, during which time he made n
brilliant record as purliamentarian
and when it was necessary to call
some one to occupy the chair tempos
rariIy, he would show himself to be q
ready and forcible debater. The
churches throughout the State that
he was directly or indirectly instru.
mental In organizing, stand to-day as
towering monuments to the cause he
so much loved, and to his work rs a
christian pastor and minister. He
was pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist
Church at this place for 81 years and
10 months, and i. was during this pc
Rod that we heard the sermon above
mentioned
lfany man living in modern times
could truthfuIIy adopt the language
of the Apostle Paul: II have fought
a good fight" etc, surely the Rev.
John Stump could do 80. Thus ends
a remarkable career. He, like all
others, fell by the all destroying
ylhe of time, but his friends will
look for him over on the "sunlit
plains" of eternal life.
