MARTHA OLIVIA VICK STEPHENSON 

  On Monday morning, August 7, at 11:30 o'clock, Mrs. Martha Olivia Stephenson 
quietly fell asleep at the age of 84 years.  Mrs. Stephenson had been an 
invalid for many years, being confined to her bed since January, but in spite 
of her afflictions she was one who always carried her burdens with a smile. 
To know her was to love her.  She had been a member of Trinity Methodist 
Church since early childhood and in the absence of her Pastor, Rev. J.E. 
Brooks of Courtland, the funeral was conducted at her home here August 8 at 
4:00 p.m. by Rev. J.R. Johnson of the Courtland Baptist Church, in the 
presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives who came to share in 
the last tribute of respect to one who was loved and honored by all who knew 
her.  The profuse floral offerings attested the high esteem in which she was 
held.  She leaves to mourn their loss five children; Mrs. C.B. Kello, Mrs. 
C.L. Davis, Mrs. F.H. Stephenson of Ivor, J.G. Stephenson of Norfolk and Edgar 
V. Stephenson.  After the services the body was laid to rest in the home 
cemetery to await the resurrection of the just.

"Her beautiful soul like a ray of light,
 Has gone to the realms above,
 Where never again comes sorrow or pain
 In that land of celestial love."
