We can give nothing like an exten dsd or
minute description of his life or the work

eudcar his memory to thousands. In him the

SO YEAR, and months
Mrs. Ste0ens was bora in iIartland
Winsor County, Vt. In 1892 dulinr the
Indian war, she removed with her husband
and children to NaperviIe as the CEN
trial home Of her family and the las. rest
ing place Of her Lowell ones. Here she
wished to live aud die. Home was her
most congeniul sphere and in the society
of her most intimate friends, she found
nearly all Of the world she cared to know.
Her life was consecIated to her family.
She found her happiness IN their prosper
ity. her sorrow, in their misfortunes.
Her declining wears were sustained by
calm tInst in God, that Illuminated her
daily life, and needed no public profession
to make it Known.
After many tears for dear ones whom
she had survived she followed them ut last
full of years, ana ripe for the felicitics OF
heaven.
Her gcnteness, her devotion endeared
her, when on earth, to many friends, and
| have enshrined her, now in the hearts Of
her children 20 the third generation.-Nap-
Grille Clarion.
Many Of our readers will remmember
Mrs. Stevens who was here repeatedly,
visiting her daughter, Mrs l.. Sherman Of
cur city. She was Always pleasant and
kind and the reverence and love shown to
her by those nearest and dea rest to her, is
the best eyi ence Of her worthy character
and Of the irreparable loss sustained by
her decease. Thus one BIZ one passes over
to The otter side, where tears and pain
and separation are never known.
