of 44 after being "thrown from an ox cart".

Lucius probably helped his mother on the farm at least until he
married Esther Abbott in 1860.
Luthera lived with her son Warren for many years (census records)
She died in 1901 only 4 years before Lucius' death in 1905.
According to this History of Chesterfield, Warren did very well --
he was a prosperous dairy farmer, member of State Leg. 1889, county
auditor and deputy sheriff, county commissioner 1893, and Justice of
the Peace.
