Harrison Stebbins
In the death of Harrison Stebbins, late
of Porter, Rock county has lost one of
her most esteemed citizens. A Ver-
monter, born at Westfield, Orleans
county, June 8, 1820; educated at Nor-
wich University, he removed in 1841 to
Janesville, Wisconsin Territory, with his
young and amiable wife, formerly Miss
Mary A. Bassett, of Montpelier, where
they resided for nearly three years. Mr.
Stebbins engaged in teaching and sur-
veying. In 1844 they removed to Porter,
upon the farm where the widow and only
son still reside. The Stebbins home
was ever a pleasant resort
for friends or strangers, the genial host
and hostess being equal to any social oc-
casion. Mr. Stebbins besides attending
carefully to his profession as farmer, was
frequently called to fill town and county
offices, and always with credit to himself
and the satisfaction of the public. He
had also represented his assembly district
in the Legislature of the State with
marked ability.
He was an honest and honorable man,
a kind and thoughtful neighbor,
an intelligent and public spirit-
ed citizen, with a mind and heart for any
true reform movement. Religiously, he
was in sympathy with the Universalist
Church. He will be greatly missed by
the entire community, and more especial-
ly by the bereaved family, the members
of which are one son S. P. Stebbins, and
two daughters, Mrs. M. Savage, of Cooks-
ville, and Mrs. H. Wood, of Stebbinsville.
Mr. Stebbins died Sept. 7th 1882, and
the funeral services were conducted on
the 8th by Rev. G. W. Lawrence, of
Janesville.
