Hackett, daughter of Thomas Hackett, was born in Delaware county, Indiana, October 24, 1845, died July 20, 1889, aged 43 years, ten months and seven days. She was united to Milton L. Stephens in holy matrimony, June 28, 1866. For thirty-three years they lived in the enjoyment of each others society until death loosed this bond and her spirit went to God, and for thirty years lived a devoted christian life. The confinement and privation of five years of pulmonary affection did not dim her experience. She entered the mortal conflict with songs of praise and triumphed gloriously. Her funeral was held at the M. E. church, Sunday, July 21st, conducted by Rev. J. B. Alleman, and her body laid to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery. The bereft husband and friends have the sympathy of the entire community. Mahala F. Stephens, daughter of Thomas and Margaret Hackett, and wife of M. L. Stephens, one of the most esteemed citizens of Roanoke, died at the age of forty-three years, eight months and twenty-six days. The direct cause of her death was consumption, with which she had been afflicted for some time. She was born in Delaware county, in 1846, and at the age of twenty was married to M. L. Stephen, who still lives to mourn her loss. She was the mother of one son, Frank, who is living in Roanoke. She was a woman of noble qualities; her heart always filled with the kindest motives and warmest affection for husband and son. Her sympathy always reached out to aid and comfort the afflicted and distressed; her feet were ever ready to perform errands of kindness and mercy, and she was generous and forgiving almost to a fault. Her conviction of what was right and what was wrong always seemed to me tempered with the kindest respect for the opinion of others, however widely they might differ from her views. We trust that those who knew her will imitate her example. "For our footsteps her judgment oft guided, and cited us on to a more beautiful goal. We'll think of her virtues, for in her word we confided, and embalm in our memories for her beautiful soul." For thirty years ago, that she would soon finish her race of life, she seemed anxious to arrange all her business affairs in due time and be ready for the call of her heavenly Master. "They with condolence to repeat, That love to mother to adore, Around one common mercy seat, We'll meet to part no more." The words of condolence so kindly spoken to the grief stricken husband and son, and the ministering hands of neighbors and friends in the last hours of her affliction are fully appreciated by all the relatives. The attendance at the funeral Sunday afternoon was very large, and the serviced conducted by the Rev. J. B. Alleman were such as to melt all to tears. "Then with hearts overflowing with sadness yet love, For friends who our burdens have helped us to hear, We'll think of our Father in realms far above, Where the angels of mercy are awaiting us there" J.C. Published in the Huntington Herald, July 26, 1889.
