Obit For Neoma Elizabeth "Bettie" Stephenson
Headline Mineral Springs News
Text Miss Bettie Stephenson was buried at the Mineral Springs Cemetery, Thursday afternoon. Bro. Smallwood conducted the funeral services.

Bettie was only 23 years old. She had acquired an education and had taught three schools.

She had made a bright start in life but for the last 3 years her health had been failing her and she went with that dreaded consumption. She started to Texas for health on Dec. 27 and got back home on the evening of Jan. 7 and at 7 o'clock the 8th she was a corpse. Her many friends have our sympathy.
