Laura Ethel Stevens Laura Ethel Lines, daughter of George and Belle Lines, was born March third, 1895 at Clarks. Ne braska, and died at her home in In man, Nebraska, July 21,1940, being 45 years, 4 months and 19 days of r ge, As a child she went with her par ents to- a homestead near Spring view, Nebr., and in November, 1897, came with the family to their farm near Inman. She wan united in marriage on November 1, 1916, to William Isaac Stevens, at O’Neill, Nebr., and they made their home in In man, Nebraska, until their decease. Eight children came to bless this union, six of whom remain today and two were taken in infancy. The husband died a year ago last May. Mrs. Stevens was a home loving mother, and not only loved her home and children, but was willing to sacrifice much for their com fort and welfare, and during most of her last illness, much of her thought was for their happiness and her every wish for their future welfare. During her last illness she thought much upon the future life, and her great comfort was her trust in God. At the invitation of the pastor, she definitely accepted Christ as her Savior in Christian Baptism, and was received on her confession, as a member of the Methodist Church at Inman. She was very patient in her suffering, and never a word of complaint or fault was uttered to those who had the care of her during her severe illness since last January, and her buoyant spirit of good will and de termination to carry on, was with her to the last. She was also a member of the Harmony Womens Club, in which, while able to be in attendance, she was an active, help ful and esteemed member. All that loving hands and medi cal science could do, was done for her, but all seemed to fail to bring help, and she quietly slipped away from us Sunday morning. Her going away leaves to mourn besides her father and mother, the following children: Doris, Earl, Dewayne, Lovilla, Eldon and Lawr ence, all of Inman, also a brother, Dana Lines and a sister, Mrs. Alma Ross, both of Inman. We are saddened and in our grief we may ask why do these things come upon us, but we may be comforted in our faith that will reveal all things in God’s good time and that we may look back at these days from the other side of life, we may see clearly then, how all things have worked together for good to them who love Him, and all will be made clear to us. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church Tuesday after noon, with Rev. Maxcy in charge. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Interment was made in the Inman cemetery.
