They spent the major part of their married life in farming retiring to Nashua in 1919. Surviving are his widow; his daughter Nina and two grandchildren, Arthur and Jeanette. Mr. Stevens was a devoted member of the veterans’ organizations, and had often remarked that he wanted a military funeral. The V. F. W. boys remembered this, and turned out with great spirit to pay him last honors. Arthur Walsh was escort commander of the military detail for the day. The eight-man firing squad consisted of Sgt. Hallis Watson, member of the Post home on furlough; Denard Jensen, Fred Timmer, Clyde Bonzer, Joe Pearce, Harry Pearce, Mark Smith and Ivan Hultz. The color guard included Harry McKenzie, carrying the V. F. W. insignia; Darrell Weigand, with the national emblem and David Rodamer and Ole Fisher, Riflemen. Gene Wilson and Burdette Baldwin also formed part of the detail, as was Owen Simmons, local Post commander. Casket bearers were Clarion Rohde, Third district V. F. W. commander; Bill Olson Pete Spurbeck of Waverly, who served with Mr. Stevens in the Spanish-American war; Ed Poppe, Sr, a Legionnaire, Mayor, V. L. Strike and M. B. Norman, also a Legionnaire. The US Flag which was draped over the casket was taken there by Clarion Rohde and Bill Olson, given the official folding and presented by Commander Rohde to Mrs. Stevens in behalf of the United States.
