The man on the left is Robert Lockhart, son of Lillian Stump Lockhart.  The man on the right is Matt Stump.

Mathew King Stump was the 10th child of William and Mary. Matt was born March 27, 1910.

Matt married Mildred Carlisle.

This  is a picture of Matt and Mildred and their daughter Maxine.

Matt and Mildred had two children : Verta Maxine and Rodney Lee.

I guess of all the great aunts and Uncles I knew Uncle Matt the best.  He visited mamaw Lillian often.  I was always so excited when he would come to Portsmouth.  I'd say " Uncle Matt How long are you going to stay ?" and he would always say. " A week or till I get weak." and then laugh about it.

Sometimes he would stay a week and sometimes he would stay a month, but I always liked to visit with him.  And he never failed to mention that he had a granddaughter named Vicki , too.

We have a lot of pictures of Uncle Matt but for some reason this one has always been my favorite. This was taken on one of his visits to Portsmouth , Ohio.  I dearly miss Uncle Matt.  He was a really sweet person.
