Headline Mrs. T. J. Stephens Dead
Text Death has again visited one our old and esteemed families and carried away the queen of the household to realms of eternal bliss, as a reward for a well spent life here on earth. Her life is worthy of emulation, because of the sweet characteristics displayed by a loving wife and mother, who has filled her duties toward them well and truly. She was an esteemed and highly respected woman, because she possessed the priceless jewels of splendid womanhood.

Mrs. Susan E. Stephens beloved wife of Thos. J. Stephens an old and esteemed citizen of this county, died at their home midway between this city and Exeter, Wednesday morning, Dec. 19, 1917, of cancer of the face, aged 77 years, 19 months and 3 days.

Miss Susan E. Price was born in Tennessee, and was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Price, who moved to Barry County, in about 1855, and her residence has been continuous in this county.
