Robert STEVENS, age 85, a lifelong resident of this city, died Sunday afternoon, at the residence on Princess Street of Stephen E. STEVENS. Mr. Stevens was the son of a Loyalist from Connecticut who located at Indiantown where a family of ten children were born. He married Miss Nancy GOLDING, a half sister of Wm F. BUNTING and had ten children - eight boys and two girls. Mrs. Stevens died about 20 years ago. Of the children, the only ones remaining in the country are Isaac STEVENS of this city and Robert M. STEVENS, Moncton, locomotive inspector of I.C.R. Mr. Stevens has always enjoyed good health and up to Friday was able to be about as usual. On that day, however, he was taken ill and yesterday breathed his last. He was well versed in the early history of the city and well remembered when Indiantown and the Saint John were connected only by a narrow foot path and when goods purchased in the city had to be taken to Indiantown by boat through the falls.
