Funeral services over the remains of the late Mr. Andrew Stevens will be
held from the Grove church on Monday at 11 a.m., after which the remains
will be interred in the cemetery adjoining the church. Mr. Stevens was one
of the pioneer settlers of Rock County, coming to this place from New York
in 1843 and settling on a farm about two miles northeast of this village,
where he made his home for many years, or until a few years ago when he
removed to Janesville, where he lived at the time of his death. Deceased
was upwards of 80 years of age. Four children, the youngest being Henry, a
resident of this village, and an aged wife are left to mourn the loss of a
kind and loving husband and father. Mr. Stevens was one of the founders of
the Grove church and donated to that society the tract of ground on which
the church now stands. He was at one time connected with the M. E. church
in this place and now after a long, eventful and useful life " he sleeps in
peace."
