MARGARET STEPHENSON Obituary Mrs. Margaret Stephenson, widow of John Stephenson, died at her home, 1208 Marshall street, Monday evening. Her health had been poor for some time. She was born in Milwaukee and was 81 years old. Her parents moved to this county and settled in the town of Liberty when she was six years of age. They were among the first settlers of that town and it was there the deceased grew to womanhood and spent most of her life. Six years ago she moved to this city. Her husband who was one of the substantial farmers of Liberty, died some twenty years ago. Her son John, an only son, died on the battlefield in France during the world war. A daughter, Ella, died a few years ago. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Thomas Morris and Miss Margaret Stephenson, and two grand children, Elizabeth and Rosemary Morris. She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Frank Hamerle of Sheboygan and Mrs. A. Zimmerman of San Diego, Calif. Mrs Stephenson was an affectionate mother, a good neighbor and a true friend. While she has gone from the scenes, the conflicts, and the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will still live in the hearts of those who knew her best. She had filled the various relations of life, as daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend, and filled them well. But she is gone. Another name is stricken from the roll of our old settlers. Yet in such a death there is really no cause for grief. Her life work was done and well done. The stern Reaper found her, "as a shock of corn fully ripe for the harvest." The funeral was held this morning from St. Boniface church with a Solemn Requiem Mass sung by Monsignor Peil assisted by Fathers Kersten and Letz. Interment was in Evergreen cemetery. *********** Registered No. 166 (no volume no.) 1. Place of Death County of Manitowoc City of Manitowoc 2.

CHARLES C. SYMES REV. From the Manitowoc Pilot, November 17, 1870: Obituary - Rev. Charles C. Symes died at the house of his brother, Joseph Symes, in Manitowoc on Sunday morning, the 13th inst., aged 43 years. He was born in Weymouth, England, in 1837; came to this country with his parents at the age of 16; became a follower of Christ a year or two later; and in 1853 began his life-work as a minister of the gospel, in connection with the Black River Conference of the M.E. Church, in the northern part of the State of New York. He came to the Wisconsin Conference in 1857; was pastor of the M.E. Church in Manitowoc and Two Rivers in 1859-60. In 1866 he removed to the Upper Iowa Conference, where he pursued the duties of his high calling until May last, when his failing health obliged him to desist entirely from ministerial work. He came to this place about five weeks ago, hoping that a change of climate and medical treatment might restore him. This hope was disappointed; but the higher hope of a Christian faith did not fail. He expressed unswaring (sic) trust in the grace of the Redeemer, and entire submission to the wise dispensations of Divine Providence. Mr. S. was a laborious man; laborious in his study, in his pulpit, and in his pastoral work. He was a successful minister. Many, doubtless, were won to righteousness by his faithful efforts, will greet him with joy in the world above. A wife and daughter are left to mourn his loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. By their particular request we hereby acknowledge the kind attentions and assistance of many friends, and especially of the Free Masons during his sickness, and on the occasion of his funeral.
