Stephens, a barber from Bristol, England was the third person to go over
Niagara Falls. He lost his life on July 11, 1920, after going over the Falls at
approximately 8:35 a.m. All that remained were a few white staves of the barrel
and Stephen's tattooed right arm. The rest of his body, attached to an anvil used
as ballast for the barrel, sank to the bottom of the river.
