He married third, Nellie Stump Boggs, daughter of Sylvester and Mary Margaret James Stump, on 1 JUN 1922, in Calhoun County WV. (Nellie and Allen Boggs divorced before 1910.)

According to a genealogy of the Stump family written by Paul Hardman in 1940, Marcellus Stump was naturally endowed with business ability. He launched out upon the world as a trader. His judgment of the values of timber, land, live stock, and the natural resources of every form, together with human values, rendered him a force in his business transactions. Added to these traits were his indomitable will and ceaseless energy.
