RESEARCH: Known as Lulu in the family and called "Toot" by her brothers, she found when applying for a birth certificate that census records gave her name as Luella. Her father then told her he gave it to the census taker that way because that is what he wanted to name her to begin with, and so she changed to Luella. Her father said that was the only the argument he ever won.
Lulu stayed active and in good health until just a few weeks before her death. She kept in touch with many of the family and was abig help with addresses and memories as this project ("The Roots and Branches of Jakob Hampp: A Genealogy") of family genealogy was begun. In 1980 when she had reached 89 years of age she was still doing volunteer work for her church and was driving her car delivering meals on wheels to the "old folks" as she called them. Just before her 91st birthday, she had to have surgery for an abdominal malignancy and then while in hospital, she fell and broke a hip. The combination was more than she could handle at her age. She is gone and has left a vacancy in the lives of many.
