With reluotant pen we chronicle the death of one of our loved ones, Cora Stevens, the youngest daughter of Bur­ ton and Francis Stevens, aged eighteen years, died Oct. 2, 1901, after a sickness of several months' duration. Cora had attended school at the Creek school un­ til completing the work there; she went to Wilmot until last year when she com­ menced teaching in Wisconsin, where she was taken very ill and for weeks her condition was critical; she rallied and was able to be brought home and it was hoped her recovery would be complete, but when the relapse came her feeble strength was soon exhausted. To her parents, her sister and brother, the blow comes with crushing force. To many young friends and school mates the loss is very great; her beauti­ ful young life has been a personifica­ tion of all that was true and noble, and her memory is very dear to all. A large concourse of friends gathered Fri­ day to aid in the last sad rites. The Wilmot high school, the Spring Grove and Creek schools each sent beautiful floral tributes, besides many others. The bearers were John Cole, Warren Cole, Thomas Cole, Raymond Thomp­ son, Byron Orvis and Harold Colby. Rev. Anderson, of Richmond, speaking words of comfort to the afflicted ones. ' - JOKN8BUBOH.
