*OBITUARY:* <BR>
20 Feb 1882 Funeral of Gilbert A. STEPHENS The funeral of Gilbert A. STEPHENS, the engineer at Jewell's Mills, who was killed by the explosion on Thursday last, took place yesterday afternoon. The services were held in Plymouth lecture room, and every seat and almost every inch of standing room was occupied. Besides the wife and children and relatives of deceased there were present Colonel Herbert S. JEWELL, Edward M. JEWELL, Major George S. JEWELL, the clerks and all the mill hands. Also a large delegation from the Star of Bethlehem Lodge, 322, F.& A.M., James WEST, Master, and Montauk Lodge, 114, I.O.O.F., F.P. JONES, Noble Grand. Rev. S.B. HALLIDAY conducted the service, which was most impressive. Deceased was highly respected, not only by his employers and fellow-workers at the mills, but by the members of the lodges mentioned. The pallbearers were selected from the lodges. The interment took place at Cypress Hills. A curious fact in connection with the deceased is that _his real name was Levi J. STEVENS_ and that he had worked at Jewell Mills fifteen years or more under the assumed name of Gilbert A. STEPHENS. The JEWELLS were astonished when they were informed of this since his death. Deceased, it is said, had some troouble with the man he was apprenticed to and he left and changed his name.
