Stump 1903-1971 "Spav" was an expert horseman and trainer and ran a livery stable, hauling equipment for the oil and gas fields during the early 20th century. He also owned a sulky, which he hired out mostly to the ladies in Grantsville for deliveries and removal of trash. "Spav" was known for his particular dress, knee high boots with leather leggings (sometimes called spats) and a well-worn hat, the apparition of a "lost soldier." He spent hundreds of nights entertaining from the upstairs porch of the hotel, playing his fiddle or other musical instrument for the crowd below, undoubtedly inspired by the fruit of the vine. His fiddle, handed down through the family, has one bullet hole, penetrated at social gathering during which no one was killed. There are dozens, if not hundreds of tell-tale stories about him. 1870 Calhoun County WV Census STUMP, 229 Albert A...27...Blacksmith...$500...VA Drusilla...27...Keeping House...VA Lillie...3...WV Charles...1...WV
