When Joe T. STEPHENSON was brought home from Kansas City, where he had been engaged in newspaper work for two years, by his brother, Rome [STEPHENSON], two weeks ago, it was painfully evident to his numerous Rochester friends that "his days were numbered." He had an affection of laryngitis which grew worse from day to day and on Monday morning at an early hour, he passed away.
He was born in Wabash thirty-nine years ago and came to Rochester with his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Hugh M. STEPHENSON, in 1878. He was the personification of geniality and good fellowship and none knew him but to admire his many genteel traits of character. He was a newspaper man of ability and was getting well to the front on one of the big Kansas City dailies.
The funeral was held Wednesday, at the residence of the deceased's brother, Attorney Rome Stephenson, when Grace church choir rendered some appropriate selections. Rev. BRIGGS preached a short and eloquent discourse and Rev. ROTH pronounced a touching eulogy on the dead.
Interment was made in Odd Fellows cemetery.
