Until 1880 she had had only three months schooling, but on moving to Fort Smith, she had a chance of three terms. Her father was in the tombstone business there but moved again to Springdale, AR, where in 1885, her 20th birthday, she took the shop in charge, undertaking the lettering. She amusingly describes how, in cutting her first "Mary" or a stone, she put the M upside down and walked two and a half miles to find a correct letter. With patience and perseverance she has forged ahead and reports having a good business in Exeter, MO, where she does all the lettering, some of the cutting and rubbing, but modestly says she is "not stout enough to make bases". In drawing attention to her photograph she says "I am 5 feet, 3 inches , weigh 105 lbs.", but like a steamboat, she can do more than appearances indicate. "I don't wear bangs, have not time to fool with such things as I have a real good trade here." She hopes Santa Claus will bring us all a good New Year, in which the MONUMENTAL NEWS joins, with expecial good wishes for herself. This wish will undoubtedly be endorsed by all. - Wheaton Journal, Thurs., May 9, 1957 - Lucy Jane Twigg, daughter of Isom and Rebecca Daniel, was born in Kentucky May 17, 1865 and departed this life May 6, 1957 at the Cassville Community hospital at the age of 91 years, 11 months and 19 days. She had lived in Barry County for 60 years. She and her sister, Mrs. S.A. Baldwin, had made their home in Ridgley for the past 10 years. Mrs. Twigg was a member of the Linda Vista Adventist church of Cassville. Her husband preceded her in death in 1917. Survivors are her sister, Mrs. S.A. Baldwin of Ridgley, 3 nieces and 4 nephews. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Linda Vista Adventist church in Cassville by H.C. Klement of Kansas City. Burial was in the Maplewood cemetery at Exeter under the direction of Pogue Funeral Home. - Note: Lucy Daniel Twigg's obituary is in error where it states that she had lived in Barry County for 60 years. The Daniel family probably left Barry County in the early 1900s, and she returned in the 1940s, so very likely her obituary should have stated that she had lived in Barry County 60 years earlier. This mistake is repeated in the second obituary. The obituary of Sabra Baldwin, her sister and with whom Lucy lived, stated that she had been a resident of Exeter for 70 years. - Lucy's Photo and Story Death Certificate
