Stephen's obituary was printed in the Bloomfield News, Friday, February 13, 1903:
"This community was shocked Saturday morning when word was received from Alabama that Curtis Medaris was dead. He left here over a year ago in good health. His remains arrived at Worthington Saturday night accompanied by his wife and two children, and were taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. Mat Yocum. His remains were laid to rest beside his mother in the Dixon cemetery Monday."
At the time of Curtis's death Clarence was 3 years and 4 months, Cleathel was 2 months shy of her second birthday, and Emma would have been about two months pregnant with Floney. More work is being done to determine what they were doing in Alabama and why he died so young.
