OBITUARY-

RALPH PERSHING STEVENSON-

Ralph Pershing, the only child of Verne and Galilee Stevenson, was born 
November 19, 1918 and had the promise of a strong vigorous child. He was 
surely a great joy and comfort to his fond parents, as they watched the young 
life unfold and develop. A short time ago the child was taken with the flu, 
which developed into pneumonia and after a battle of twelve days, death 
claimed the little one, as he passed away on Thursday, at 3 p.m. at the home 
of the parents in Rock Island, Illinois, February 12, 1920, aged 1 year, 3 
months and 1 day. The fond parents dedicated the child to the Lord in Holy 
Baptism on December 1st, 1919.

The sorrowing parents accompanied the body to Maquoketa on Saturday, which was 
taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Stevenson, cousin of the father, where 
funeral services were held on Sunday February 13th at 1:30 p.m., and burial 
was made in Mt. Hope Cemetery. The floral tributes of friends were beautiful. 
Mrs. Hugo Staack and Miss Kendall sang consolingly. Rev. D. F. Boomershine 
officiated.
