Headline FORMER EXETER MAN KILLED IN TEXAS ACCIDENT
Text Word was received here Monday afternoon of the accidental death of Cleo Stephenson, 31 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wes Stephenson of the Calvary community north of Exeter, who was employed with a construction firm at Lone Star, Texas.

According to reports, Stephenson, who had been living in Mt. Pleasant , Texas for the past four or five years, was working in a steel mill at nearby Dangerfield.

He visited here last week with his parents and had taken his wife, the former Miss Pat Callison of Cassville and their two small sons, to visit her mother in Columbia, Missouri. He had returned to Texas alone and resumed work the morning he was killed.

The body was returned to the Culver Funeral Home here Wednesday and funeral services will be held at the Exeter Baptist Church this (Thursday) afternoon with the Rev. Harry Moore and the Rev. Hugh Higgs officiating.

Burial will be in the Maplewood Cemetery at Exeter.
