Mr.. Jas. II. Stevenson was born July
| ,, 1919, and died February 20, 1897, age
II years, months and Is days. Mr..
Stevenson was paralyzed on his right
side about four years ago, and had had
very little use of that side since. On
last Tuesday, 10Th, he was paralyzed in
his left side while out in the yard, and
fell, where he lay on the damp ground
for about three hours, the family all be-
ing away from home. He was found by
some of his neighbors in an uncon-
scious condition and carried to the
house. He never recovered his con-
seriousness sufficiently to talk, and suf-
fered great pain until death relieved
him of his sufferings. Mr.. Stevenson
has always lived in this community, and
almost everybody knew him. He was
a member of the Port Royal Church
Funeral services were conducted by his
pastor Rev. Hardin at the residence
and his remains were laid to rest in the
Mt. Carmel Cemetery, to wait the resur.
rection. He leaves one daughter, one
son and several brothers and sisters to
mourn his untimely death. We eX-
tend our sympathies to the bereaved
ones. GYPSY BLAIR.
