 The many friends of Mrs. Nettie Willis Stevens, wife of D. Milo Stevens of 325 Exchange street, will be pained to learn of her death, which occurred at her home Thursday evening just be- fore 8 o'clock. About ten weeks ago Mrs. Stevens was taken i'll with grip. and later Bright's disease developed. Most of the time she had been confined to her bed, but of late had seemed to improve little, so that she was able to sit up occasionally for an hour at time. Shortly after o'clock Thursday evening Mrs. Stevens had a sinking turn, then rallied and seemd as usual. but about o'clock she suddenly ex- pired. She was bright and cheerful in all her illness and conscious to the last. Mrs. Stevens was thirty-five years of age and had been married fourteen years. Besides her husband, D. Milo Stevens, she leaves three young chil- dren, Ethel, Ruby and Chauncey. She was the daughter of the late James Willis. Her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Willis, who survives her, has made her home for some years with her daugh- ter. A brother. Fred L. Willis, resides at 334 Exchange street, and sister, Mrs. Charles A. Johnson, at Woolsey street. Mrs. Stevens was member Of the Grand avenue Baptist church, where she had been very active work CT. For about ten years she had been the assistant superintendent of the pri- mary department of the Sunday school. She was also directress in the Ladies' Aid society. which position she had filled for some time. Al who knew her will sympathize with the family in this . bereavement, not only because of the early cutting off of this young mothers life, but also on account of the affiic- tion of the oldest child with blindness, whom it would seem peculiary needs the mothers care.
