Obituary - John Stevens
DIED.
In Naperville. May 3d, Mr. John Stevens, aged seventy-six years.
Mr. Stevens was born in Rindge, N. H., September 2d 1783. His parents
relocated to Hartland Vt. while he was still quite young and subsequently to
Enosburg, Franklin county, where he continued to reside until removing to
this place in 1832. Blessed by nature with a hardy and vigorious
constitution he was well fitted to endure the hardships and privations
incident to pioneer life. In the lovely village where he resided he has left
behind many monuments of his skill and industry as a mechanic. In his
declining years he has long been honored as one of the pioneer settlers and
patriarchs of the village, and now that his venerable form has disappeared
from our midst his loss will be deeply and sincerely lamented by a numerous
circle of realtives and sympathizing friends. CoxSubmitted by Judy Fessler and Polly Hitt
