JACOB T. STEVENS

  At 7.10 o'clock yesterday morning Jacob T. Stevens, a well known 
resident of the Seventh ward, died at the home of his son, Charles E. 
Stevens, 1513 Fourth street, of a complication of diseases.  He had 
been ailing for over a year.  Deceased was born at Clear Ridge, Fulton 
county, April 24, 1829.  He came to this city thirteen years ago and 
followed his trade, shoemaking, until ill health compelled him to 
relinquish all work.  He was married in 1850 to Sarah Rutherford, who 
preceded him to the grave eleven years ago.  He was a member of the 
Fifth Avenue Methodist Episcopal church and was highly esteemed by all 
who knew him.  He is survived by these children: Mrs. W. H. Christ, of 
Williamsport, William F. Stevens, of Pottsgrove, and Charles E. 
Stevens, of Altoona; also by two brothers, Rev. B. F. Stevens, of 
Harrisburg, and John W. Stevens, of North Madison, Ind.  The funeral 
will take place Tuesday afternoon, services at the house at 2 o'clock; 
interment in Fairview cemetery.
