“Death Found Her Ready” - - (excerpted from article) Mrs. Lucy Mundy, aged 89 years, died Thursday evening, March 10, 1904, at the home of her son-in- law, Lot W. Ringo, in Weston. Deceased was born in Patrick County, Virginia, June 8, 1815. She was a daughter of Henry and Lucinda Hines and in 1837 married Isaac Mundy. Together they came to Missouri in 1839, settling at Westport; but, after several years’ residence, removing to Kansas territory and occupying a government farm in what was then the Delaware Indian reservation. In 1858 Mr. Mundy was killed by accident, and as he was the owner of 7 slaves, his widow moved to Weston, where she has lived continuously - 46 years. (Researcher's note: The 1860 Platte County Slave Schedule indicates Lucy Mundy owned 6 slaves as of 06/02/1860)
