On Friday a service was held in her own church here, Rev. J. C. Gillette conducting the service amid a profusion of flowers sent by loving relatives and friends. “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere” and “Face and Face,” were sung by the church choir and D. W. Strickenburg and Mrs. A. P. Taylor sang “Crossing the Bar.” The body was laid to rest in the family plot in Mount Hope cemetery. The pallbearers were: J. N. Weller, W. H. Ward, C. W. Stone, John Acton, G. A. Tallmon, and F. M. Byerly. Additional Comments: Lillian was a daughter of George Stephens and his first wife, Mary Delia Wetmur.
