Mrs. Stepp, accompanied by her son-in-law, Richard Baldwin, and Clarence Byers of Chalmers, a cousin of Mr. Stepp, started to Hendersonville Sunday morning at five-thirty, a half hour after being notified of her husband's illness. After reaching there they learned that death had occurred in an ambulance as he was being taken to a hospital, about the same time that they left Winamac.
Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Methodist church, in charge of the Rev. O. P. Manker. The Masonic lodge will conduct rites. Burial will be in the Winamac cemetery. The body will lie in state at the church for an hour preceding the funeral.
Forty-eight years of age, Mr. Stepp had suffered from high blood pressure for some time, which was one of the factors which influenced his resigning as superintendent of the town's street and water works department. He conducted a poultry business and was also engaged in operating a farm, assisted by his son James.
At the age of fourteen, Mr. Stepp left Hendersonville, where he was born Dec. 25, 1900, and came to Indiana. He was employed in the Rensselaer vicinity until 1923, when he established his home in Winamac following his marriage to Miss Mary Young, who survives.
They have six children, all of Winamac: Mrs. Arabelle Penicaro, Mrs. Florence Baldwin, Joan, James, Marilyn and Janet(sic) at home, and two grandchildren. Also surviving are three half-sisters, Mrs. Lillian Lyda, Mrs. Elsie Fisher, Mrs. Eliza Rhymer, and three half brothers, Paul, Jesse and Frank Green, all living in Hendersonville.
Funeral services were held at one o'clock Tuesday afternoon in North Carolina. The body reaching home early Wednesday morning and was taken to the resident on South Monticello Street.
