Mother M. St. Stephen, I.B.V.M.
==================
The final call, although coming with but short notice to Mother M. St. Stephen, I.B.V.M., found her ready to respond. Her life had been devoted to "instructing others unto justice," and she could look trustfully to the glorious reward promised. She was born in Montana, and was the eldest daughter of the late Sergeant Stephen O'Neill, who served in the Civil War and won a decoration for bravery in rescuing the colours in the battle of Chancellorsville. Sergeant O'Neill also fought in the Spanish American War, and was later stationed at Old Fort Brady, Sault Ste. Marie.
Mother St. Stephen during her thirty-nine years in the Loretto Community taught in Chicago, Joliet, Guelph, and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. She leaves to mourn her, besides her Sisters in religion, one brother, Mr. Stephen O'Neill of Sault Ste. Marie, and one sister, Mrs. J. T. Smith, of Detroit; also, seven nieces and nephews.
The funeral services were held on Saturday morning, November 12th. in St. Mary's Church, Sault Ste. Marie. The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Raymond 0. Jacques celebrated Solemn High Mass, and was assisted by Rev. Anthony Oelecher, as Deacon, and Rev. Raymond Przybylake, as sub-Deacon. Rev. Gino Ferraro was Master of Ceremonies. Other priests in the sanctuary were. Rev. Father Brennan, and Father Buckeye of Sacred Heart Church, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. May she rest in peace
