 Burial Of Geo. B. Stevens

            The Rev. C.C. Tate of Englewood, Chicago, was called, and the last sad rites were performed by him on Saturday, at 10 a.m., at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. T.L. Stevens, parents of the deceased, in West Niles.  There were present a large number of people, who sympathized deeply with the aged father and mother, the broken hearted wife who could not part with him, the fatherless little daughter clinging to her side, the brothers and sisters who moved with trembling steps to the carriage which conveyed them to the last resting place of him whom they loved, and who was brutally shot down by a man who had robbed him of his claim while he was paying his wife and friends a visit at home.  The beautiful Episcopal service was read at the dwelling and concluded at the grave in a most solemn manner.  The wife gave full vent to her sorrow as the casket was lowered, and lingered long in sadness, taking a last look at what contained the remains of him she so much loved.  It is hoped that the one who has brought such affliction upon worthy and esteemed citizens will not escape the punishment which they deserve.

            Geo. B. Stevens, of Niles, well known in this place, was shot to death at Guthrie, Oklahoma, last Tuesday, by a Dr. Townsley, with whom he had some business difficulty.  From the accounts telegraphed to the Chicago papers it is inferred that the case was one of cold-blooded murder.

            In speaking of the affair the Niles Democrat says:  “he was the oldest surviving son of Mr. Thomas L. Stevens, president of the First National Bank of this city.

            George was known far and near for his generous, open hearted ways—his faults were all on the surface, covered by no cloak of hypocricy[sic]; his good deeds were never a subject for boasting yet they were not a few.  He will be remembered and sincerely mourned for by many whose hearts he had won by virtues that are only too rare.”

            He was buried Saturday morning.

Albert Morey
Abt. 1842-Feb. 12, 1892



    Albert Morey, a man who has been hostler in Bunbury's livery more or less for several years, died last night in the calaboose, where [he] had been given shelter and was being cared for during the past few days.  A man had been assigned to take care of him, and last evening his attendant started out to get him some supper, asking him what he wanted. Morey told him to get him anything.  When the attendant returned, Morey was dead.  But little is known as to Morey's history.  He has said that he has a 15 years old daughter in Detroit and a brother who is a Captain on the Lakes.  He came from Buffalo, New York, where his father was a liveryman. He was probably fifty years old.

    Albert Morey came to Niles about three years ago and went first to the Bunbury livery born.  He desired work enough to enable him to purchase his supper.  Will Bunbury gave him 25 cents for a meal, and afterwards employed him about the livery, where he worked several months.  Then he went to St. Joe for a time, returning here later and hired out at the Horse Hotel.  Then he worked about the city, doing odd jobs, such as washing buggies and cleaning harness. About ten days since he was taken ill and supervisor J.A. Peck saw that he was well cared for at the city's station house, a physician and watcher being employed.  He died Friday p.m. at 6 o'clock.  The funeral occurred from the Methodist church Sunday morning at 9 o'clock.  Interment was in Silver Brook cemetery.  Morey was a well educated man, and once owned property in Detroit, which he gave to his daughter.  He was about 50 years old, was very fleshy and would wiegh near 300 pounds.  His death was caused from the grip.  It required a much larger casket than could be obtained her, and one was ordered from Kalamazoo.  Being a non-resident, all expenses will be paid by the county.  One Capt. Walker, of Chicago, was his brothe-in-law[sic], and Morey claimed to have a daughter living with his sister somewhere in Ohio.
