Mrs. Florence Stephenson Called to
Her Reward Last Thursday. 81

| Westminster, r. F. D. No. 3, May

tied our community last Thursday
May 23d, and took from our midst
one OF our best and most beloved
friends, Mrs. Florence Stephenson,
wife of r. r. Stephenson, and on.y
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Rice. She was granddaughter OF
| Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson Cleveland. E&
Mrs. Stephenson was "a years, six
months and six days old, and was
born and raised in Oconee. Some
time ago she moved to Anderson
county, where she was married to
J Mr.. Stephenson on March 20, 1904.
! Mrs. Stephenson was loved by all
who knew her. All was done for
| her that physicians and loved ones
| could do, but God saw best to call
her home. Surely, good woman
has gone to her reward. She was a
member Of the Baptist church, ana
| a good, Christian woman, having ac-
| cepted Christ as her Saviour, join
ing the church in her early child
hood She leaves her husband and
one little son, Theodore, seven years
old, and her aged father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. George Rice; three
brothers, Wade, Cleveland and .Thos
Rice, besides a host of other rela-
tivcs and devoted friends to mourn
her death.
The remains were laid to rest at
Richland Crock Springs) Metho list
cemetery on Saturday, the 25th, the
funeral services being conducted by
Rev. Mr. Vaughn.
The family desire to extend thanks
to the good people Of Richland for
the kindnesses shown toward them.
They had dinner prepared for all
the relatives and friends who ac-
companied the remains, and all felt
the comfort Of these kindnesses and
the many considerations shown on
this sorrowful occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephenson once
made Richland their home, and the
word and deeds Of the good people
Of thtt community bore evidence or
the high esteem in which the de-
ceased was held by them.
Mrs. Stephenson will be greatly
missed at home and elsewhere. 1t was
always pleasure to any one to be
IL this good woman'S company. Our
loss is her gain. 1t seems hard to
give up such a good woman, though
God knows best. Therefore we bow
in humble submission to His will.
The bereaved ones have the heart
felt sympathy Of the entire commu-
nifty in their deep sorrow. May God
comfort and cheer them in this sad
dispcnsation Of His providence.
