Stevens, wife of Mr. N. B. Stevens and daughter of John and Sally Kennedy. The deceased was a devoted member of the M. E. Church South and by her death the Church and community sustain a great loss. Her motto in life was "Holiness to the Lord." The greatest object of her life work the salvation of souls. She was instant in season and out of season, earnest in prayer, diligent in business, fervent in spirit serving the Lord. A lady of untiring energy and zeal, an inestimable and devoted wife, an exemplary and fond mother. Truly it may be said of her "she hath done what she could," and doubtless had an abundant entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
