DIED--At her home in the town of Easton, Adams County Wisconsin, April
20th, 1904, Mrs. Bettie Ann STEVENSON, aged 73 years.

The deceased was born in Bainbridge, County Down, Ireland, March 8, 1831.
She was married to David STEVENSON at that place, shortly after they came
to this country, first to New York City, from thence to Ohio and later to
Wisconsin; residing for several years in Jefferson and Dane counties. Then
moving to this county where they have made their home ever since. Their
union was crowned by eight children, six are still living, either in the
towns of Easton or Lincoln, who, together with their father, mourn the loss
of a faithful wife and loving mother. Funeral services were held at the
family home last Thursday.

Naught could tire her Christlike patience,

Or outreach her loving care;

What on earth so much like Heaven,

As her gentle spirit fair.

--James McChesney
