Obituary

George Christian Stephens was born at Acme, Washington, March 21, 1902, and 
departed this life Dec. 12, at Bellingham, Washington. He lived in Acme until 
1912, when he came to Fruitland with his parents, and has since resided here.

A year ago last October an auto accident left him with an injury that caused 
much suffering, he resisted it and continued his work as a farmer and 
orchardist until Dec. 2, when he left for Bellingham, Washington, for a visit 
with relatives, and also intended to have an operation for appendicitis from 
which he had been a sufferer for some time, and the correction of any 
irregularity resulting from the injury received in the accident. He had been 
there but a short time when his condition became critical and he was taken at 
once to the hospital, where he underwent an operation Wednesday, Dec. 8th. His 
mother and brother, Ray, were summoned to his bedside Sunday morning, Dec. 
12th and left at once, but he passed on Sunday evening before they arrived.

The deceased was a great hand to be at home and spent most of his time there. 
Since the death of his father a year ago he had been the dependable support of 
his mother, who leaned much upon him. Besides her he leaves his brother and 
one sister Martha, now Mrs. A. A. Herard, besides a host of friends who deeply 
grieve his untimely removal, as it is a great disappointment to those who had 
hoped for years of fellowship with this genial young man. Funeral services 
were held from the Methodist church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted 
by Rev. C. M. Knight, and interment made beside his father in Riverside 
Cemetery. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved 
ones, as everyone mourns with them in their loss.
