FUNERAL OF IVAN STEPHENS ON WEDNESDAY

      Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon for the late Ivan 
STEPHENS, 17 years of age, who died at the home of his parents on Second 
street Monday night. The services were held at the Methodist Episcopal 
church, and were conducted by Rev. W. H. STOCKTON and Rev. Leo C. KLINE, 
both of whom made the journey from Los Angeles to be here for the 
occasion.
      A large concourse of people were present to pay last tribute and 
take part in the impressive service.  Many beautiful floral tributes 
were in evidence, expressing the high esteem in which the young man was 
held by his friends and school mates.  Interment was in Woodlawn 
Cemetery.
      The pall bearers, schoolmates of the deceased, were Leonard 
HOBLITT, Fred WHITENECK, Carl RAN, Raymond LOCKETT, Fred LEE and Gerald 
CROWE.
      The honorary pallbearers, girls, also schoolmates, were: Christy 
MC DONALD, Emily LAKE, Vivian JOHNSON, Gertrude GEORGE, Virginia HORSEY 
and Lois MOTT.
      Ivan STEPHENS, at the time of his death, was president of the 
Junior class of Las Vegas High School, and was well loved by all who 
knew him, having the respect and friendship not only of his classmates, 
but on the entire community. In his freshman year at high school he led 
the honor roll of the school, as at this term up to the time of his 
death, which casts a gloom over the school and the large circle of 
friends of the family.
