Jacob B. STEVENS
. . . About two years afterwards, he [George Stevens], in partnership with his brothers, Jacob B. and Daniel Stevens, purchased the Iranistan mill, which they now operate. Jacob Stevens, of the firm of Stevens Bros, was born in Canada, in 1847, and came with his father's family to this county. He now lives at Iranistan, with his brothers, George H., Daniel and John, all of whom are unmarried. Daniel Stevens was born in Dodge county, Wisconsin, in 1849, and came to Cass county with the family. After attaining his majority he went to Richardson county, Nebraska, thence to Table Rock, Pawnee county, of the same State, where he learned the trade of millwright. He returned to Cass county and was employed as a builder, in Lewis, working upon the construction of some of the best buildings in that town. He is now one of the firm of Stevens Bros.
