STEVENS
Theodore H. Stevens was born in Albion township, Howard county, Iowa, in the year 1871. He was united in marriage to Miss Ida Slawson on March 4, 1895. They established their home on the Slawson homestead, one and a half miles south of Florenceville.
Four children were born to them, all of whom survive him with his wife.
He was adopted into the Granger Camp of the Modern Woodmen of America in 1897, taking out $1000 insurance in favor of Mrs. Stevens. At the time of his decease he was one of the managers of the Camp for the current year.
Two weeks ago he was taken seriously ill with appendicitis. An operation was decided upon but the rapid progress of the disease made it impossible. No expense was spared to get the opinion of the best physicians in the county. Several consultations were held and all agreed with the treatment prescribed by Dr. C. A. Plummer, who had charge of the case to the end. He rapidly grew worse until Sunday, Jan. 10, 1904, when death relieved his sufferings and he passed into the great beyond. He leaves five brothers and two sisters to mourn his departure.
The funeral services were held on Wednesday, January 13th. They were in charge of the Granger Camp M. W. A. About thirty members marched in procession from their hall to his late home. The ritual ceremony was carefully carried out by Venerable Consul James Grant, assisted by the other officers. A number of members from neighboring camps had gathered at the house. These were arranged in the procession by Captain S. C. Twamley, which marched back to the M. E. church at (illegible) preceding the hearse. The services at the church were conducted by Rev. W.E. Thompson, venerable consul of Harmony Camp M.W.A., assisted by the choir. Ven. Consul Grant and Master of Ceremonies, B. Lange had seats on the platform. The church was crowded to the doors, many people not being able to gain admittance. The sermon was preached from the text 'Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when cutteth and cleaneth wood upon the earth,' Psalm 141.7. Mr. Stevens was considered by all who were acquainted with him to be a kind hearted husband and industrious thrifty farmer, a good neighbor who was always ready to assist anybody who might be in need. He was well known throughout county and will be missed most by those who knew him best.
The PLAIN DEALER plus with their many friends extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends.
