WILLIAM STEVENS.
Thursday morning our community
was surprised and panied to learn of
the death of VIM. Stevens, who has
lived among us so many years. VERY
few knew of Mr.. Stevens sickness.
He did his customary work Monday
and went to the village, but was
taken i'll on Tuesday with grip, which
soon developed into congestion of the
lungs and be was too weak to rally
from this disease. Mr.. Stevens was
born il Lisbon, n. H., and was Tone
of twelve children, only one sur
viving him. Mr.. Stevens was a law
abiding man, kind father, not only
making home for his children but
for some of his grandchildren. He
was always present at the Methodist
church until the infrmities of age
came upon him. He was for many
years a member of the choir and
| loved music. No members of the
church were more interested in it's
welfare than he and Mrs. Stevens.
! He was cordial man and a hospit-
able one. When very young he married
MariIla Rowland and for 60 years and
nine months they have walked life's
| pathway together and more devot-
ed couple was seldom seen. His
death seems peculiarly sad as Mrs.
Stevens is i'll with the same disease.
By this union three children were
born to them, E. 6. Stevens of Or
leans, Fred of Derby and Frank of
Colebrook, N. H. He leaves five
grandchildren. His children and all
his grandchildren but one was present
at his funeral, which was held in the
M. E. church Saturday, Rev. D. G.
Guest officiating. assisted by Rev. M.
w. Hale. The funeral was in charge
of Mr.. Whipple. Mr.. Stevens was 80
years, 8 months old. He will be much
missed and the family have the SYM
pathy of all.
