Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schlafer and sons, Donald and Pershing, attended final rites for Lieut. Milo Stevens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Stevens, Mrs. Schlafer's brother's son, held in Deposit [Broome Co., NY] on Wednesday.  His death was one of the many tragic deaths in the air, in our own country.  We recall reading of the terrible bomber crash at Terra Haute, Ind., the previous Thursday.  It was in this accident that Lieut. Stevens met his death.  The Sunday following his death, he would have received his wings at Georgia Field.  Out of a class of 202, he was one of ten chosen as an instructor had he lived.  To the bereaved family the sympathy of friends is extended.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Dec. 24, 1942]
