Stephen's relatives took the change from Stephen's pocket -- four dimes and five nickels -- and put it into the Methodist hospital poor box. The coins were quickly retrieved, then embedded into a small bronze plaque that was screwed onto the rear wall of the hospital chapel. It's still there today.
