ROSWELL p. STEVENS.
East Charleston loses one of its oldest
and most respected citizens by the
death of Roswell p. Stevens, which oc.
CURED at his late home October Is,
1908. He suffered a slight shock of par.
alysis four years ago, and has gradually
failed since, until the end came.
He was born in st. Johnsbury, VT,
December l, 1926, and came with his
parents to live in this place at the age
of ID years. His father settled on the
farm now owned by Eugene Buck, near
the village, cleared the land, built and
occupied the buildings until 1862, when
Chester s., the youngest son, died in the
service of his country. Then the father
and mother went to live with the eldest
son Roswell on the adjoining farm.
The mother died that same year, but the
father lived to be nearly 80 years of age.
Roswell p. was married in 1851 to
Martha M. Hall, who died in 1865, with
out children. In 1866 he married Melis-
sa S. Dolloff. Eight children were born
to them, four of whom grew to manhood
and womanhood. Chester r. died in
Philadelphia in 1900; John C. resides
at st. Johnsbury; Martha A. and
Charles e. reside with the parents and
together with their mother have tenderly
cared for the father during his long i'll
ness.
Mr.. Stevens was kind husband and
father, neighbor and friend. The peo-
pie OF the town reposed confidence in
him, giving him most of the offices of
trust. He represented the town in the
General Assembly in 1874 and 1875.
lie has been member of the Free Bap-
fist Church since 1862 and has been one
OF the foremost in sustaining the worship
Oh God In this place. He sang in the
choir at the dedication of the church in
1916 and helped in that branch of wor-
ship until his health failed. Funeral
services were held in the church, con.

be glorious resurrection.
