Obituary
Funeral services for Abraham Lincoln Bumpus, 76, of Fearing Park, Wareham were held Thursday afternoon at two o'clock at his late home with the Rev. Arthur L. Fenderson, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd officiating, assisted by officers of the Wankinquoah Lodge, I.O.O.F., with the Odd Fellow's rites at the home and cemetery. Burial was in Union cemetery, Carver.
Mr. Bumpus passed away Monday at the Union hospital in New Bedford after an illness of three months. He was born in Carver, and resided there until 20 years ago when he came to Wareham and build the home at Fearing Park. Mr. Bumpus was well known in the cranberry industry. As a young man he worked at the Wankinquoah bogs, later at the Nickerson and Myrick's bogs. For many years he was superintendent of the bogs about Wareham and Buzzards Bay for Henry J. Thayer of Boston also maintaining bogs of his own.
For more that 50 years he had been a member of the Wankinquoah Lodge of Odd Fellows, and also belonged to the Weweantit Rebekah Lodge. He was a member of the Cromsett Tribe of Red Men and belonged to the Wankinquoah Rod and Gun Club.
For the past year he made his home with Mrs. Blanche E. Robinson at the Fearing Park homestead. He had been at the hospital but a week. He is survived by a son, Ellis Bumpus of South Carver and two grandchildren.
