[Death Notice - The Corydon Republican (Corydon, Indiana); 05 Mar 1872]
DIED.... At the residence of her son, Hon. John W. Lopp, near Mauckport, Indiana, on Saturday evening, the 24th ultimo, Mrs. MARY M. LOPP, sister of David Pitman, Esqr., of this county.
Mrs. Lopp was very suddenly taken off, probably by an apoplectic fit, or some disease of the heart, having been enjoying the best of health until fifteen minutes before her death, when she was seized with a smothering sensation, and died almost immediately.
The deceased was one of the early pioneers of Indiana, having emigrated with her father, John Pitman, from the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, in the year 1808, and settled in what is now Scott township, in this county. She became a member of the Lutheran Church more than thirty years ago, and has ever since lived the life of an earnest, sincere christian, striving to follow the example of the meek and lowly Jesus.
In the death of mother Lopp, the church has lost one of its brighter ornaments, society one of its best and most useful members, and her family a devoted mother and sister. She leaves a large circle of relations and friends to mourn their loss.
