Emma Ann Williams Stevens, Memphian who died in Chattanooga, TN Dec. 1, 1921

 

 

STEVENS FUNERAL TODAY

 

Services Over Former Memphis Woman Will Be Held This Afternoon

 

    Mrs. Emma A. Stevens, wife of J. W. Stevens, local business man, a former

resident of Memphis for many years, died at the residence of her daughter,

Mrs. R. B. Pirtle, in Chattanooga, Tenn., Thursday afternoon, following an illness

of several years.  Mrs. Stevens had been living with her daughter for the past

seven years, because it was hoped that the climate there would greatly benefit

her health.  Her death, while a shock to her relatives and many friends in

Memphis, was not altogether unexpected.

    Her husband, although remaining in Memphis because of his business interests,

made frequent trips to Chattanooga to see Mrs. Stevens, and was with her when

she died.  In addition to her husband she is survived by four daughters,

Mrs. R. B. Pirtle, of Chattanooga, and Mrs. W. S. Randolph, Mrs. E. J. Bettis and

Mrs. T. G. Tucker, of Memphis.  She is also survived by two sisters and one

brother, also of Memphis, P. H. and D. R. Williams and Mrs. J. T. Alberts.

    Funeral services, conducted by the Rev. W. W. Adams, will be held at the

residence of her nephew, Dave Wells, 660 North Fifth Street, this afternoon at

2:30 o'clock.  Friends are invited.  Interment will be in Forest Hill Cemetery.

J. J. Collins, undertaker, has charge of the arrangements.
