Mrs. Williams mother and all of her brothers and sisters were at her bedside at her passing, and all that loving hearts and willing hands could do were done for her.

Miss Neva Stubblefield Dead

The death angel has for a second time visited a broken home, within a week, and carried away a loving daughter and sister to a triumphant entry into that celestial city, where she has been promised and will enjoy eternal life; for a well spent life here on earth. She knew she was going and prayed a beautiful prayer in the twilight of life, just before the scenes of earth were closed. Her spirit is now basking in the spirit land of "Many Mansions".

Miss Neva Stubblefield was born near where she died, 2 miles southeast of Exeter, Dec. 8, 1895, of pneumonia, aged 34 years, 2 months and 1 day. She was the second oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.
