Elvira Stevens was the second of the ten children of Lorenzo Stevens and his wife, Eliza Sylvester Stevens. She was born in Grant county (sic), Wisconsin, February 17, 1845. While she was still an infant, the family moved onto a farm near Montfort, Wisconsin. Here she grew to womanhood, being educated in the public schools and the Platteville seminary. In 1861, when 16 years of age, she began to teach school. During the strenuous years of the Civil War, she frequently helped her father with the work on the farm. At the close of the war, at a public reception in Avoca in honor of the returning soldiers she first met Corporal Stephen Kendall of Co. D, 38th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, who had seen sixteen months of service in the army. They were married near Montfort, Wis., Nov. 12, 1867. After living one year with his parents at Avoca, they moved to Belmont, Wis., where their first child, May Eliza, was born. The next year they moved onto a farm near Montfort. Here their other three children were born - Jessie Maud, Lorenzo C., and Lewis Stephen. In February, 1884, the family moved to their farm 3 miles east of Sutton, Nebr. They united with the Congregational church (sic) in Sutton in the winter of 1888-89, of which church they have been faithful members. Mrs. Kendall was a charter member of Butler-Johnson Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and a member of the Order of Eastern Star. In November of 1900, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall moved to Sutton, which became their permanent home. Her husband, Stephen Kendall, preceded her in death May 27, 1907. Until 1919 she kept her own home; since that time she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Jessie Case. She was taken ill Monday, Jan. 27th. Complications of pneumonia and heart trouble together with the toll of years brought her life to a peaceful end just before midnight on January 31, 1930, at the good old age of 84 years, 11 months and 14 days. She is survived by three brothers, three sisters, three children, Mrs. Jessie Case of Sutton; L.C. Kendall of Pasadena, Calif.; L.S. Kendall of Sutton; twenty-one grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren. Funeral services were held in the First Congregational church (sic) Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. A.W. Lapthorne officiated, preaching from the text Jer. 15:9 - "Her sun is gone down." A quartet, Mrs. F.H. Hanke, Mrs. W.F. Griess, G.E. Swanson and O.P. Kohler, sang "Does Jesus Care?" "Under His Wing" and "Now the Day Is O'er." Piano, Miss Olga Grosshans. Interment was in the Sutton cemetery (sic) besides her husband, six grandsons, Ernest and Roy Kendall, Frank and Stephen Case, Ralph and George Schwab, placing her to rest.
