j J. H. Thorn well,
i Dr. Stephenson had been in ill
j health for several years, and
i about one year ago suffered a
i nervous breakdown, which two
3 months ago assumed an acute
1 form. He was taken to Morgant
ton last Thursday for treatment, i
The Charlotte Observer of Tuesday
had the following brief
sketch of Dr. Stephenson's life:
"Dr. Stephenson's death is a
' peculiarity sad one in that but
for his ill health what would
4 have been a career of signal usefulness
is cut short. He was;
born in Flat Rock. Kershaw couns
ty, South Carolina, in 1861, and
| was, at the time of his death, 46 ;
; years old. He graduated at'
; Tulane University, New Orleans,
in 1891, being valedictorian of a
I class of 80. Shortly after grad
| uating he taught diagnosis in one j
i of the large hospitals of the
City of New York. His consti
tution, however, was not equal
to the strain and his physicians
told him that a change of climate ,
was absolutely necessary. For a
i time he then practiced in Missis!
sippi, but failing to find the dei
sired relief, he came to Fort Mill,
i S. C., whence on the ail vice of
; friends, he came to Charlotte,
taking up his residence in the
then suburb of Dilworth. Here
he has lived and practiced his
i profession for the past ten years
1 up till a few weeks ago, when he
was forced reluctantly to aban- 1
. don his work. Those who knew 1
i him found him courteous, honor;
able and upright.
"Dr. Stephenson is survived
i by his wife, one son, Mr. lire- ;
I 1 1 1 ?
, vara niepnenson, aria ins mother, 1
j Mrs. S. H. Stephenson, of Fort
; Mill. Many friends sympathize (
I with them in their sorrow.
"Mrs. Stephenson before her i
! marriage in 1888 was Miss Flor- I
ence Doty, of Central, Miss., a i
member of a well known Missis- 1
sippi family." i

* tree 100 feet in height and 27

II could stand in the middle, for it
