Several days ago they laid under the sod the body of John Stevens of Covington, whose character and influence has been admired by even his enemies. He was a pioneer in Texas and was always a leader in his community and county. He gained statewide prominence when Joe Bailey's enemies got on his (Bailey's) trail. Stevens left his own farm duties and hastened to Austin and stayed on the job until Bailey had been vindicated. His was an undying love for his friends and a life of helpfulness to his neighbors. At a great banquet at Cleburne six years ago this writer saw him without a collar on and in his shirt sleeves, thoroughly at ease among those dressed in conventional attire, the object of respect and admiration of all present. The present day produces few friends like John Stevens. Peace to his ashes. Provided by FindaGrave Contributor #47114458
