Horry Herald January 13, 1919
In Loving Remembrance 

The death angels visited our home and took from us a loving husband, and father
J. W. Stevens.  He was 59 years old and had been in failing health for several
years but bore his suffering until his death.  He leaves a wife, two sons, four
daughter, three grand children and he leaves two brothers, three sisters and a
host of relatives to mourn the loss of him.  But we feel our loss is his eternal
gain. 

      Father dwells in Heaven

            And will for ever more;

      On angel wings they took him

            To that Celestial shore, 

      His pilgrimage here is ended

            And his crown of glory won,

      His life well spent in happy deeds,

            His life on earth is done. 

      Tho he is gone we will not forget,

            His loving ways while here

      His happy smiles his cherry words

            And greetings fond and dear. 

      We’ll never forget the happy days

            That with him we have had

      And our duty now hence forth will be

            To keep our memory green.  

      Oh, dear papa thou art gone,

            Tho sad we now away be;

      Because you will no more be with us.

            Nor your loving face we see. 

      We miss your love and gentle voice

            As we gaze on your empty chair,

      And in our joys and sorrows too,

            You always used to share.

      Dearest papa thou have left us,

            And our loss we deeply feel

      But ‘tis God who has bereft us,

            He can all our sorrows heal.

                        His Loving Daughter,

                        Bertha Stevens
