Obituary. 
Adam Stephens, for 35 years superin- 
tendent of Green Lawn Cemetery, Co- 
lumbus, O., died July 28 at the age of 
77 years. Mr. Stephens was born in 
Columbus, Pa., but had lived in Colum- 
bus, O., since early youth. He had 
served as township trustee, city marshal 
and government assessor, and was made 
superintendent of Green Lawn on his 
birthday, March 1, 1868. The cemetery 
had then about 6,000 interments. Of 
the 32,000 burials which have been 
made since then he has superintended 
personally fully two-thirds of them and 
the care and attention which has been 
given to the cemetery under his man- 
agement has made it an object of greal 
pride to the citizens of Columbus. For 
the last 48 years he had been associated 
With the Odd Fellows and was a past 
noble grand, past patriarch and past 
high priest of Capital Encampment, No. 
6, of Columbus. He was past grand 
high priest of the grand encampment of 
the state, and for several years district 
deputy grand master. He was a charter 
member of Columbus Lodge, No. 3, 
Knights of Pythias, a past chancellor 
commander and a representative to the 
grand lodge in 1866. The interment 
was in Greenlawn. Mr. Stephens leaves 
two daughters and three sons, two of 
the latter being officials of the ceme- 
tery.
