Frank Stevens

The Newton News, Monday, October 5, 1903

Page 1, Column 4

Only a few meager words by telegraph, but what a world of import. After great anxiety and waiting, then buoyed up by hope, came the fateful word Saturday afternoon that Frank Stevens had passed away and would be buried in Spokane, where his wife’s people live.

Frank was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stevens of this city and a brother to Mrs. A. H. Bergman. He was born in Lodi, Wis., Feb 13, 1854, but came to this city when only about four years of age and here grew to manhood. He was a whole souled young man and his death seems a very great pity. The blow comes to his parents and sister with almost crushing force and the sympathy of all is with them.

Death of Frank Stevens

Frank Stevens is dead, was the report that flashed over the wires from Spokane on Saturday. News received earlier in the week, gave hope to his relatives and friends here that he would recover from his injuries, but they were doomed to disappointment. Mr. Stevens visited in Newton last year after many years absence and renewed many old acquaintances, who were pained to hear of his death.

Frank Stevens, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stevens, was born in Lodi, Wisconsin, Feb 13, 1864. He came to Newton with his parents when he was four years old and lived here until he grew to manhood. The remains were buried in Spokane, where his wife's people reside.
