I have seen the same terminology used to mention the maiden or former name of the wife. In my example, all the heirs of George Stump were being named to sign a deed and my ggg-grandmother is referred to as Lucinda Eagle, late Stump. (meaning her married name was Eagle and her maiden name was Stump). The deed was dated 1825. "It means the husband is deceased."
