In its place will be found the announcement of the death of the wife of Captain S.S. Stevens, which occurred at the residence of the family on Mitchell Street in this village, on Wednesday evening, June 22nd. Mrs. Stevens was born Oct. 22d, 1816 in Morrisville, where she spent her youthful days. In Oct. 1830 she was married to the Captain and went with him to live in Syracuse, where they resided until Nov. 1st, 1847, when they removed to this village where they have since resided. Norwich was then but a small hamlet, and together they have witnessed its growth to this present size. Since Mrs. S. has lived in this village, she was by her kindness to all, and faithful services, deeds of kindness, commended herself to all as a most worthy and estimable lady. She gave three sons to her country to fight for the Union and was always most patriotic in her desire for the success of our cause. She has been ill for some time, her final disease from the effects of paralysis. The funeral will take place today, Saturday, from her late residence. She leaves in addition to her aged companion, now past his three score and ten years, four daughters and one son, all grown to be useful and respected members of society. In their sad bereavement they have the warmest sympathy of our entire community. (Published in the Telegraph Saturday, June 25, 1887)
