Genealogy: Some Descendants of William FULLER as compiled by Bryan W. Lane: NGS Quarterly Report of William Fuller [Lynn Albert Bumpus book, p. 251] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***** Canton Daily Register February 24, 1902 On Monday forenoon, assisted by Dr. J.E. Sutton and by Mrs. Dr. Bradley, who is a graduate nurse, Dr. W.E. Shallenberger amputated, just below the knee, the right leg of C. F. Bump. Although about 75 years of age, and weakened by suffering which the diseased limb had caused him, Mr. Bump rallied in a most encouraging manner after the operation and is doing well. It is three years since his left leg was amputated. ***** Canton Daily Register February 26, 1902 C.F. Bump, one of Fulton county's old residents and most highly respected citizens, died Tuesday evening at 8:15 o'clock, at his home, west of town. He was born in Greene county, N.Y., Sept. 29, 1829. He came to Illinois in 1848, and to Fulton county in 1850. He was three times married. His first wife was Anna Maria Foote, of New York state. His second and third wives were sisters, whose maiden name was Powell. He is survived by his wife and seven children: Barney J., who lives near Maple's Mill; Heman, living northwest of Canton; Mrs. Douglas Saunders, living near the homestead; Mrs. Martin Saunders, living near Independence; Cornelius, Alt and Sylvin, at home. Mr. Bump's illness began three years ago. It was senile gangrene, affecting one foot. Amputation was resorted to, the leg being taken below the knee. Two months ago the same ailment manifested itself in the heel of the other foot, and on Monday that leg was also cut off below the knee. He was also afflicted with diabetes, which weakened him. Two hours before his death he relapsed into unconsciousness from which he never rallied. The funeral takes place at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, from the family residence, the Rev. W.B. Shinn officiating. [Todd Walter to ILFULTON List, 11 February 2004, (Email Posting to ILFULTON List on Rootsweb.com; References to the Canton Daily Register in 1902.), "Electronic."
