Mr. Edgar Hilliard Stephenson passed away at his home in Talbot County Thursday 
night, March 18th, after a lingering illness.  He had been a great sufferer, 
but always patient and uncomplaining.  His last hours were comforted by the 
glorious hope of immortality and that all was well with his soul.

He was only fifty-nine, the very prime of manhood, but sickness and disease 
caused him to look not at the things of this world.  Several years ago Mr. 
Stephenson married Miss Johnnie Allen of Belleview.  They had only one lovely 
little girl.

On Friday afternoon, all that was mortal of Mr. Stephenson was laid to rest in 
the family burial ground, beside his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Zack Stephenson.  
Rev. J.B. McGehee pronounced the last sad rites.  A number of friends attended 
and some beautiful floral offerings adorned the casket.

Besides the wife and daughter he leaves one brother, Mr. J.T. Stephenson and 
three sisters, Mrs. Kate Ely of Montgomery, Ala., Mrs. Hamp Heath, Mrs. Geo. 
Rufus Brown of Lumpkin and several nieces and nephews.
