Death of Thomas Stevens.

  After an affliction of almost three years, from dropsy, during which 
he was a patient sufferer, never murmuring at his lot, Thomas Stevens 
died at 9 o'clock Sunday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. 
C. Weight, at Charlottesville, near Tipton. The funeral services were 
conducted at the Tipton Methodist church, by Rev. Samuel Wilson, at 2 
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Interment, with the honors of war, at 
Bellwood cemetery.
  The deceased was born September 17, 1825. His age at death was 71 
years, 4 months and 14 days. Mr. Stevens was twice married, his first 
wife, formerly Mary Mulhollen, passing away in 1865. His second wife, 
formerly Barbara Eve Cramer, died in 1883. Surviving him are the 
following children: Mrs. Mary Simpson, Mrs. Tamer Miller, Mrs. Amanda 
Houser, Mrs. Nannie Mulhollen, of Altoona; Mrs. Elizabeth Kuhn, of 
McKeesport; Mrs. Myrtle V. Wolfgang, in Tyrone; Mrs. E. Florence Weight 
and Walter T. Stevens, of Charlottesville. One brother, Joshua Stevens, 
of Illinois, also survives him.
  Mr. Stevens served during the Civil War in the artillery arm and made 
a good record as a soldier. He was a member of the Sanford D. Beyer 
Post 426, Grand Army of the Republic, of Bellwood. A consistent 
Christian, he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Tipton. 
Among all who knew him he was highly respected as a loving husband and 
father, a good neighbor and a useful citizen, who will be missed in the 
community in which he so long made his home.
