Raftsman's Journal, June 27, 1898
On Tuesday morning of last week, just as daylight was breaking, the death angel
summoned the spirit of James Stephenson.  He had retired on Monday evening in
his usual good health, but when called to breakfast by his daughter it was found
that life had gone a few minutes before.  James Stephenson, was well known to
many people in this county, where he had lived since the year 1837.  His mother,
Mrs. Stephenson, married Lemuel Byers, of Burnside township, shortly after
coming to this country, hence the children of that family were half brothers and
sisters of the deceased.  They were John, Joseph, David and Robert, the last
named deceased.  There were three daughters, half sisters of the deceased,
married to Russell Rorabaugh, Joseph Hutton, and D.T. Mitchell, all of Burnside
township.
