Mrs. LOis Stevens Neal, died 20 September 1923

The sudden passing of Mrs.  Lois STEVENS NEAL wife of Raymond NEAL of near
Wilsonville, cast a pall of sorrow over the entire community.  The sudden
going of any one always causes deep sorrow but when a young wife and mother
is called from her companion and her six little children our sorrow becomes
much greater and again we are reminded of the uncertainty of life.  Mrs. Neal
was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. S. STEVENS and spent her girlhood near
Taylorsville.

She was educated in the county schools and in a Taylorsville school.   She
taught a few years in the schools of the county before she married.

She was naturally refined and of a sweet disposition.  Hers was a beautiful
character, and though she was very reserved her influence was felt by many
and it will live on in the hearts of those who knew her best.  Her filial
affection was outstanding and her devotion to her husband and their children
was beautiful

Mrs. NEAL fainted Friday but revived and at three o'clock Saturday morning
assured Mr. NEAL that she was feeling much better, about 5:30 that morning 
she had a heart attack and passed away before the physician who had been 
summoned could arrive, Coroner H. P. ALLISON was called and his verdict was 
that death was due to acute dilation of the heart.

She was thirty three years of age.  She is survived by her mother Mrs. Annie
STEVENS, by her husband and six children, the eldest of whom is nine years
old and the youngest less than six weeks old, two brothers Lee STEVENS of
Taylorsville, and Humphrey of Bloomfield, two sisters Mrs. Effie CHOWNING and
Mrs. Elizabeth NEAL.

The funeral service was conducted at the grave in VAlley Cemetery Sunday
afternoon by her pastor Rev. RAGLAND.
