Stephenson was born in Sylvester, Green County Wisc Aug. 31, 1868 and departed this life Sept. 1, 1894, aged 26 years. She lived with her parents on the farm until 1886 when they moved to their present home in the village of Albany, since which time she has lived with her parents excepting when teaching school. In July, 1893, after her school was finished she complained of being tired, but in company with a party of friends she visited the World's Fair. Soon after coming home she began to fail but kept around until Sunday, Aug. 5, four weeks previous to her death, when she gave up and was confined to her bed. She was a patient sufferer and no murmur escaped her lips. To the last she was anxious for those around her that they should not overdo in taking care of her. She passed from earth so quietly that the watchers never knew just when she entered the presence of the heavenly Father. Myra will be missed, not only by her parents, sisters and other relatives, to all of whom she endeared herself by her kindness of heart and thoughtfulness for the comfort and welfare of others, but by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances in fact by everyone who knew her. Her kind and gentle disposition and her habit of always thinking and planning for others in preference to herself, combine to make her memory a precious legacy to those who remain on the shores of time.
