  [S201] Miscellaneous Newspapers. Rev. Emory M. STEVENS One of the outstanding ministers of the Methodist denominations, Rev. Dr. Emory Miller STEVENS, former district superintendent in the Central Pennsylvania conference of the Methodist church, died at his home, 131 East Watson street, Bedford, Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock. Several years ago Dr. STEVENS suffered a stroke of apoplexy. He has been retired since that time, his health steadily failing. For the past seven weeks he has been bedfast. Born at Faulkes Mills, near Cumberland, Md., November 29, 1858, he was a son of Rev. W. H. and Margaretta (SHEFFLER) STEVENS. On January 12, 1884, he married Julia LEADER of York. She died in Bedford four years ago. Members of the family include two daughters, Edith, wife of J. Donald HOCKMAN of Claremont, Cal., who, summoned home by the serious illness of her father, arrived in Altoona Tuesday morning, received word of his death upon arrival, and Miss Jeannette STEVENS, at home, a teacher in the Altoona High school; also three grandchildren, Jeannette, Constance and Barbara Ann HOCKMAN. Educated for the ministry in the Williamsport seminary, Dr. STEVENS was admitted to the Central Pennsylvania conference in 1882. He served the following churches: Loyalsock circuit, Hughesville, Emporium, Jersey Shore, Stevens Memorial in Harrisburg, Bellwood, Bedford, Pine Street church in Williamsport and Mifflinburg. He was district superintendent for 20 years, serving in all four districts--Juniata, Williamsport, Harrisburg and Altoona, being located in this district for 6 years. In 1927 he retired from the active ministry. Friends are being received at the home. The body may be viewed at the Methodist church, Thursday afternoon from 12:30 to 1:30 o'clock.
