Ephraim A. Stevens, who died at Mountain View, Cal., December 27, is well remembered by the older citizens of Westford and Chelmsford, being a native of the latter place. For many years he was a resident of Westford, owning a large farm on the Chelmsford road now owned by Mr. Emerson. After selling this farm he moved to Westford Center, having purchased the village property commonly known as the Harrison Hall place [24 Main St.]. For several years he was a resident of Forge Village, owning the place occupied in recent years by George W. Blodgett [on West Prescott St.]. While living his family will be remembered as constant attendants at the Unitarian church, zealously interested in its welfare. For several years he was a resident of Cavendish, Vt., and served the town as selectman and overseer. After leaving Westford he moved to Mountain View, Cal., and bought a small fruit farm, prunes and apricots being a specialty. Here his declining years were passed until his death at the age of eighty-one. He was tenderly cared for by his devoted daughter Emma.
The deceased was twice married. One daughter Emma survives. Another daughter, Nettie Stevens, Ph.D. of Bryn Mawr college, died a few years ago. She attained a national reputation as a scholar. A son by the second marriage died in early youth in Vermont, and Andrew C., in New Ipswich, N.H.
Mr. Stevens was a man of business tact and temperate habits, frugal and industrious. He was companionable and tolerant in his attitude towards life, and now he has been called home with others of the beloved "First Parish" who have served.
