In Memory
Of sister W. \V. Stephens of
whom the relatives and friends
were called upon to say the last
words and lay to rest the remains
on April 25th, 1908.
She was nearing her 55th year
of age when the summons came for
her departure. She was the de¬
voted wife of our beloved brother
W. W.*Stephens of Sale City, and
the mother of four children, Dr.
A. T. Stephens, Sal lie Price,
Mary and Willie Stephens, Jr.,
all of whom are left behind to
mourn her sad departure. Sister
Stephens was not "permitted to
enjoy the usual health which
many enjoy as she was stricken
in early life with rheumatism
which left her a complete physi
cal wreck and for 34 yeiys she
remained in this condition. She
bore with Christian grace and for¬
titude these long years, not being
able to make a single step and for
18 years unable to feed herself—
but like Job the man of God, she
seemed resigned to her fate and it
is truly said that at no time in her
life was she ever heard to murmur
or complain, desiring to live for
the master though he slay her
Her life was one that is worthy
of imitation. In her home she
was true as a companion, loving,
tender and compassionate as a
mother and always looked upon
the bright side of life. She join¬
ed the church in early life and
lived a consistent member until
death. But alas, she is gone. She
fought a good fight, she kept the
faith, she was ready to be offered
up. You will find her on the gol-
