Marion County News
Jeremiah Stephens was born June 22, 1822, and departed this life May 2, 1904, at 
6:30 p.m. He lingered for several months with a dreadful cancer. He told me many 
times during the last two weeks of his illness that he could not tell the 
greatness of his suffering. He then would repeat some good hymn ana say, "I long 
to go and be at rest. All is well." He leaves a wife and five children, together 
with relatives and friends to mourn his departure. He was a Missionary Baptist. 
Papa, dear, when I kissed you farewell, I had no hope of meeting you on this 
earth again, but I have a bright hope of meeting you on Cannan's happy shore, 
where there will be no more parting. I sometimes dream, your pleasant smiles 
Still on me sweetly fall, your tones of love I faintly hear My name in sadness 
call at I know that you are happy in my heart is very desolate to think that you 
are gone.
Only Daughter, Mrs. M. E. Cockrell
