Cynthia died April 30, 1918 in Pinetop, at the young age of twenty-one, while giving birth to her only son, Wilmer Robin Stephens. The cause of her death was recorded as Puerperal Albuminuria.

He saw a shooting star the night Cynthia died, and knew without being told that his daughter was gone.

Sadly, their baby Wilmer Robin died July 1, 1919 from Enteritis, or inflammation of the intestines (Lakeside Ward Membership Records).
