Speaking of the death of Mrs. Wm Stonecypher the Lafayette Call says:

“After many weeks of patient suffering death came at 8:30 o’clock last night to the relief of Mrs. William H. Stonecypher at the family residence, No. 20 South 26th Street, from the effects of a cancer. She was 54 years old and had been married twice. A husband and four children survive to mourn her loss together with many acquaintances and friends. She was a member of the Baptist Church and of Triumph Lodge No. 291, Daughters of Rebekah. She was a most estimable woman and had won the regard of a large circle of friends by her excellent qualities. She was loving and affectionate in her relations as wife and mother and the family feels most deeply the loss they have sustained in her death. The remains will be taken to Crawfordsville for interment.”

Lafayette Journal: “The funeral of the late Mrs. Wm H. Stonecypher was conducted from the family residence, on Oakland Hill, yesterday morning at 10:30 o’clock.
