Stevens, Henry Albert, barber, Lake City, is a son of F. R. and Angeline
Stevens, early residents of this county. Both his parents were born in the
village of Osen-obruch, Prussia, and the father died at Wabasha, March 29,
1862, the mother surviving him over eight years, passing away December 28,
1870. They reared three sons and two daughters. Fred R. and John are
residents at Uclen, near Crookston, Minnesota. Eliza (Mrs. Joseph Buisson)
and Angeline (Andrew Wheeler), dwell at Wabasha. Henry Stevens was born at
Petersburg, Rensselaer county, New York, June 3, 1851, and came with his
parents to Wabasha in 1858, arriving April 29. His father's death occurred
when he was but eleven years old, and upon him devolved largely the care
of his mother and sisters. When about fourteen years of age he began to
learn his trade, and subsequently worked several years for a liveryman. He
was married January 22, 1875, to Miss Mamie Thoney, a native of
Switzerland. The same year he came to Lake City and opened the barber-shop
he now operates, on Washington street. He now employs two assistants, and
in addition a large millinery business is carried on by Mrs. Stevens in
the handsome store over the shop. The largest business in both these lines
in the city is conducted here. Mr. Stevens was reared under Episcopal
tutelage, and affiliates in politics with the democratic party, frequently
taking part in its conventions. One child was given him, July 15, 1877,
and christened Henry Arthur.
