Bio
Married Soloman Noah Cupp, Sr. on 23 SEP 1860 in Edina, Knox County, Missouri. Died. Mrs. S. N. Cupp, 51 years of age, three miles southwest of Edina, died on Wednesday night of last week of cancer of the stomach, from which she suffered a great deal for six months or more prior to her death. Her remains were buried in Linville cemetery. The Knox County Democrat, Edina, Missouri, 17 Jan 1889, Thu • Page 4, Column 5 Obituary Mrs. Emma Cupp beloved wife of S. N. Cupp, and daughter of Jonathan and Margaret Oldfather, departed this life of sickness and pain to dwell with our savior in heaven on the night of January 9th, 1889. She leaves to mourn her departure a loving husband and eight grief stricken children—two daughters and six sons, all of whom were present to witness the last moments of their loving mother. She also leaves an aged mother, five sisters and three brothers and many relatives and friends who will miss her cheering words and helping hand in time of need, but of such is God's will—He called and she must go but we have one consoling thought—that she has gone where all true loving christian's go. She had lived a christian life for many years, was a member of the Presbyterian Church at the time of her death. She was born in Preble county, Ohio, on the 31st of December 1838 [1837], and was 51 year, 9 days old at the time of her death. She was always a devoted wife and kind and loving mother; no one knew her but to love her. She was afflicted about six months ago with pain and sickness that baffled all medical science that could be procured. It may seem hard to her many friends who helped to nurse and comfort her in her last moments that they could do nothing to restore her health again, but of such is life. We will soon all have to pass over the same road and let us try to be prepared to go without a moments warning, so we can meet her in the other world where there is no more sickness and sorrow, for we are taught that there is none in heaven. She was a woman of extraordinary power of mind, cheerful in disposition, kind hearted and true—her hospitality knew no bounds.
