In 1878 he moved to Walla Walla and later to Dayton, where he was employed by William Jasper, one of the leading stockmen of that district. He and Addie M DeSpain were married in 1889 and moved to what is now Lincoln County, taking up a ranch near the present site of Edwall. They erected a fine home on the property and it continued as their home for 58 years. Mrs Lumpp passed away in July, 1938, and since that time  Mr Lumpp had made his home with his daughter, Mrs Lee Jasper, and her husband at Davenport. They made their home in Spokane from Aug 1937 until the time of Mrs Lumpp’s passing. The celebrated many anniversaries together, and in later years these were marked with public recognition.

Jacob married Addie M DeSpain on April 18, 1880. In 1891 they lost their 7 yr old son, and in the fall of 1892 his house burned down. In 1904 they reported three children: Lottie Mae, wife of O J Reddy; William J, who died Dec 23, 1891; and Dora Bell, age 15 at that time. The family appears on the 1885 Lincoln Co census, Jacob, Addie, Lottie and Wm.  “Honoring the 88th birthday of her father, Jacob Lumpp, pioneer of this county, Mrs Lee Jasper of Davenport entertained some of his old friends at dinner, Monday. Mr Lumpp came to Washington Territory in 1879 and to Edwall 59 years ago, living there until recent years when he went to Davenport to live with his daughter.” (6-30-1939)

 

Lumpp, Addie M DeSpain  (1864-1938; shared stone w/Jacob F) d. July 1938 Addie was born in Linn Co, Oregon, the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Hardesty) DeSpain.

On July 3 a family dinner was celebrated in honor of Mr Lumpp’s 87th birthday.  Mrs Lumpp was born in Cloverdale, Oregon and was one of the early pioneers of Washington. She was married to Jacob Lumpp at Dayton in 1880. Mr Lumpp had settled at Walla Walla in 1872. The couple moved to the vicinity of Edwall following their marriage. At that time there were but two or three families at Edwall.  A survivor of the Indian wars, Mrs Lumpp made a trip to Arizona from Oregon for her father’s health when she was a child of 7, riding across the deserts and mountains on horseback.  The Lumpps continued living on their Edwall farm until last August when they moved to Spokane. They also spent some time with their daughter, Mrs Lee Jasper, at Davenport.  Surviving Mrs Lumpp are her widower, daughter, Mrs Lottie Jasper, and granddaughter, Marjorie Hoysager of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.” (Citizen: 7-15-1938)

 

Lumpp, Willie J  (d. Jan 23, 1891, aged 7 yr 1 mo; s/o Jacob & Addie) The death of William J Lumpp was not recorded in the Lincoln Co Auditor’s ledger. The death is mentioned in the History of Big Bend, 1904, in which he was shown to be one of three children born to Jacob F and Addie Lumpp. The Dec 23rd death date in that text is nearly a year discrepancy from the date on the tombstone, a not uncommon occurrence with that text.
