JOSEPH STEPHENSON cemetery #44 On Tuesday evening, August 25th, while Mr. Joseph Stephenson and his son George were drawing a load of planed lumber into their yards at the Center, the horse became frightened at an engine, which was standing on the track, and ran away. Mr. Stephenson grabbed the lines from his son thinking that he could stop the horse. He was thrown out and severely injured. In all probability the wheel passed over his abdomen. He received a scalp wound about two and one-half inches in length, over the back part of the head, but this had little or nothing to do in causing his death. The shock and attending collapse were so severe that for a while at least, it seemed as if he would die before the doctor could dress his head. About seven o’clock p.m. he began to rally and at eight o’clock reaction had set in and his general condition appeared more favorable. The exact nature of the internal injuries are unknown, as no post mortem examination was made but there is no doubt but what they caused his death. Mr. Stephenson was a man highly respected in this community and his untimely death sent a thrill through the whole neighborhood. All join in extending sympathy to the bereaved family. Joseph Stephenson was born in Belfast, Ireland, February 3, 1835, and came to America with his parents in 1841 locating in Massachusetts. In 1849 he migrated to Wisconsin and located in Manitowoc County where he remained for a number of years. In 1873 he was married to Miss Emily Dittmar of that city. In 1885 he removed to Gravesville, and during the past year has conducted a lumber yard in this city. Mrs. Stephenson and five children survive him. The funeral occurred on Friday and the remains were interred at Manitowoc. The guests from abroad were Gordon and John Stephenson, Mrs. Jos. Finch, of Liberty; Mr. and Mrs. George Goldie, of Newton, Manitowoc County and Mrs. George Rein, of Sheboygan. Chilton Times, August 28, 1896 ******** [cause: accident]

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.
