Narrative

LEWIS STURGILL and his wife Lucinda Ward remained in Scott Co. VA when his father, Joel, and the rest of the family went to Missouri. When Joel's family in Missouri went on to Oregon, Joel, being too old to make the trip, returned to Scott Co. to live with Lewis and spent the rest of his life there. Lewis and Lucinda also lived out their lives in Scott Co. and are buried in the Speers family cemetery near Kyles Ford TN. Their children were all born in VA. -pg 93A
