MATTE STEPHENSON,
Died October IL, 1873.


The casket OF the deceased was deco
rated tas,efullv with wreaths of flowers,
and when the persons present had taken
last look at the placid features OF the
departed eight pail hearers, with white
and black Grape on their lett arms, took
charge Of and placed the casket in the
hearse.
As the solemn procession moved down
Main street, an mtutivs knowledge
seemingly pervaded the minds OF persons
along that highway that an angel spirit
had left its mortal tenement for happier
realms, that they looked in silence at the
cavalcade as it passed to escort the earth
y remains to the grave.
At the cemetery, in a conspicuous spot,
not far from the entrance gate, grave
had been dug, and here the procession
halted and placed tile casket within it.
The Rev Mr.. Boggs, Of the Second
Presbyterian church, the read from the
tenth chapter Of Luke's gospel the para
BILE Of the good Samaritan, and closed
the services with few culogistic and af-
fectng remarks.
Every one present was visbly affected
to sadness during the ceremonies, and
many strong hearts shed genuine tears
Of sorrow for the hearted victim
who nobly sacrificed herself in a cause
which will win her crown among the
