Portland Observer, 27 Mar 1889

The great uncertainty of human life was most forcibly illustrated on Saturday 
last when Theodore Stevens, ticket agent at this station died very suddenly.

Some weeks ago Mr. Stevens had a severe trouble with his head and was confined 
to his bed for some days.  He was out again, however, attending to business, 
and said he never felt better in his life.  He was on the streets on Saturday 
morning, made his daily deposit at the bank and went back to the depot.  Here 
he complained of not feeling well, and late in the forenoon went home.  He laid 
down upon the bed, and about two o’clock became unconscious, in which condition 
he remained up to the time of his death, which occurred at one o’clock Sunday 
morning, only twelve hours after he was attending to his business.

Mr. Stevens had been in the employ of the railroad company at this place upward 
of eighteen years, and was a thoroughly competent man in the business, coming 
here from Lansing.  At the time of his death he was fifty-three years of age, 
and leaves a wife and one son – Wm. M. Stevens, Detroit.

The funeral occurred at the Baptist church yesterday afternoon, the Rev. 
Anderson officiating.  The remains were under escort of the Masonic and 
A.O.U.W. fraternities, of which the deceased was a member, and he was buried 
with Masonic honors.
