Stevens Mrs. H. Stevens died last Sunday morning about 1 o'clock at Dr. Stewart's sanitarium in Columbus, where she had been two weeks previous to her death under treatment. Our people were shocked beyond measure when the news of her death was received here about 9 o'clock Sunday morning because it was unexpected. The last news of her condition was to the effect that she was getting along finely, but she suddenly grew worse Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock and for some reason a telegram could not be gotten through to her family here announcing the sudden change for the worse. The remains arrived in Buena Vista Sunday morning at half past 11 o'clock and were taken to the residence of Mr. J. W. Roberts, from which place the funeral took place at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. N. R. Sanborn at the Baptist church, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Baptist cemetery, followed by a large concourse of the people of Buena Vista who were deeply moved with reverence for the dead and sympathy for the loved ones whom she left behind. Mrs. Stevens, was the daughter of the late Dr. J. L. Baker and sister of Mrs. J. W. Roberts of Buena Vista and Dr. W. E. Baker of Portageville, Mo. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn her death. Mrs. Stevens had been a member of the Baptist church since her girlhood, and was a consecrated christian woman, whose influence for good will live long after her. The Patriot deeply sympathizes with the bereaved ones in their hour of their sore distress. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.1 Kb
