Injuries Prove Fatal

i w. w. stephenson, vi oaoh'oi'
River, who fell from a load OF hay
about ten days ago, mention O
which was made in the Recorder
at the time, died as result OF ms
injuries Sunday evening last.
At the time of the accident, Mr.
Stephenson was assisting his farm
hand in hauling a sled-load OF hay
and in passing through gate one
corner of the sled struck a gate
post, throwing Mr.. Stephenson
who was large man, to the ground
aad inhicting severe bruises, one OF
which caused blood-clot, develop
ing serious complications, and Gull
minating in death, as stated above
While the people of the county
were aware of his critical condl-
ton, the announcement of his
death was great shock and oceas-
toned profound regret. How true
it is that death claims all seasons
as his own! Just as the joyous
Christmas time approached, his
somber shadow crossed the thres-
hold of this hospitable, happy home,
and the season of JOY and good
cheer became one of mourning ard
sorrow.
While the county may deplore the
loss of one who was recognized as a
most useful and honorable citizen,
it is in the immediate home circle
where the loss is felt most keenly
and where the grief most polgnent.
VIM. W. Stephenson was born
in the year 1856, the only living
son of the late Washington Steph-
enson. His mother was daugh,
ter of William Wilson, hence he
was a descendent of two of the
most prominent and we'll known
families of Highland. Older resi-
dents of the county recall the fact
that his father was county ofhcerln
anti bellum days, holding the office
of sheriff between 1852 and 1857,
md it was during his tenure OF
Office that the only legal execution
of death penalty in Highland took
place.
Mr.. Stephenson was prosper
Gus and successful farmer and cat
tie man, possessed of intelligence
and business acumen. His worth
as citizen was recognized by all
who knew him. integrity and hon.
esty being marked characteristics
of his life and dealings with men.
His worth as a husband and father
could only be appreciated by the
loved ones comprising the family
circle, but it was known that he
found his greatest contentment and
happiness in his own home, a suffi-
cient warrant of strong ties of at
fection, love and care.
He is survived by his wife, who
was Miss Rachel Summers before
marriage; and-'by six children:
Misses Amelia, Susan, Hattie, Rose
and Eliza are the daughters and
Frank, an only son.
Mr.. Stephenson was identified
with the Presbyterian church, and
for many years a ruling elder of
Stony Run church.
The funeral took place from the
church at II o'clock Tuesday.
Rev. Mr. Ruckman, of Hot Springs,
Hudson, of Staunton, and Parker
of Monterey, all taking part in the
services.
The crowd in attendance was
one of the largest ever seen at a
funeral in that community, and
the floral tribute was beautiful.
Six of his cousins acted as
