To this union were born seven children. Their religion was a staunch Methodist. George Stumbo�s death was caused by drinking hot pepper used as a medicine for his ailment.

MARY ELIZABETH GILBERT on 2 November 1887 in Boone County, Iowa In some places, James middle name is listed as QUINCY >From the Stumbo History by Mary Bristle: James Q. Stumbo came to Boone County with his mother and stepfather from Hillsboro, Ohio, at the age of eight years in the 40�s. He attended school ten days in a log school house on the Mrs. Johnnie Williams farm. He remained in Boone County until he was seventeen years old and then returned to Ohio. He lived in Ohio until the Civil War broke out and then enlisted in Co. C, 48th Ohio Voluntary Infantry, October 3, 1860 at the age of 20 years. He came home on a furlough and was married to Susan Buck, afterward returning to the Army. He re-enlisted in Co. R. 48th Battalion, Ohio Voluntary Infantry, February 29, 1864. He was honorably discharged from the service of the United States Army, May 9, 1866 at Columbus, Ohio. At one time, the Union Army was surrounded by the Confederate Army. Josh (I assume this is Joshua Stumbo, James older brother) was taken prisoner, but not so Jim. One of the Confederate Soldiers took after Jim and another man. Jim out ran the other man, who was taken prisoner. Jim heard so much about the cruel and inhuman treatment at the Liberty prison that he said, �I would rather be shot than taken prisoner.� The nearest he came to being shot was his cap shot off just as he stepped over a log. He picked up his cap and put it back on his head, he never noticed the hole in his cap until that night in camp. Some time before the end of the war or during it, Joshua and Jim decided the last three letters of Stumbough (ugh) were not necessary. They wrote back to their uncles in Ohio, signing their names Stumbo. Their uncles said if they were ashamed of the name Stumbough, they need not write again, and they did not write.
