The Jacksonville Courier of the 27th
says:
The death of Arthur Sterens at the
nome OF Charles Catlin. on State street,
at about o'clock last night was not I'M
expected. Many of the young men and
woman or Jacksonville were his school
mates IN the High school more than 10
years ago. Some OF our young people
were his pupils in 1884 when he was
teacher IN the same school, DR.. Nc
Laughlin and E. P. Irving were among
his classmates IN the Illinois college class
or 1884. What is peculiar 10 his case is
mat many OF his frmcst friends are men
and women OF twice his age. The ma
turity of his mind and the earnestness of
MS manner are explanation Of this trait.
The physical limitations of Mr.. Stew,
ems have always been very great. Health
with him has been the exception and pain
the rue Yet, owing to strong will
and an ardent love of study, his intellec-
tual culture became exceptional. 1t was
his varied culture. with his genial humor
an a hIS ferh -
that was good and beautiful and true,
that made him so deservedly q favorite
with every class IN the community. When
a few months ago we heard of the brave
little woman who so nobly gave up her
school and became his wife, everyone
prayed that through her efforts he might
be restored TO health
When, four weeks ago. he came with
Mrs. Stevens 10 jacksonville. and in
spite OF the skill of his trusted physician,
and the attention of friends, hope after
hope slipped away, all united in admiring
the devotion of the girl-wife, who, with
he constant attentions, chee1ed his last
days Mr.. Stevens was in the Both wear
of his age.
