Her funeral took place at the frame church in Washington township on Tuesday afternoon. The Osceola Sentinel, Osceola, Iowa March 31, 1887, Page 3 We have been requested to publish the following obituary of Mrs. Stephenson as the one last week is not considered complete. We give it place cheerfully; Mattie, wife of L. L. Stephenson, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Erastus Robinson of Ward township, on Monday, March 21, 1887, aged 24 years, 5 months and 3 days. The funeral services were at the M. P. church on Tuesday, Rev. George Robinson of Murray officiating. A large concourse of friends followed her to her last home in Pleasant Ridge cemetery. She was married Nov. 23, 1882, and leaves a sorrowing husband and daughter eleven months old to mourn her departure. Her health had been failing for some time and at her own request she was carried back to her old home about ten days before her death. The visit only proved to be only a preparation for departure. When told that she must soon die she quietly bade her husband and friends good bye and so fell asleep. Her life had been spent in Clarke county. An amiable girl, a dutiful daughter, a loving wife and mother she has left a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Transcribed as published
