Read More	Krouse Stevenson at the age of 77 is serving his third term as mayor of the town of Quimby, after having been town marshall six years, city councilman for two terms, road supervisor for two years, and a member of a school board in the county. With one exception, he is the oldest mayor Quimby ever had. He first was appointed mayor to fill a vacancy, and has been elected to the office twice. The mayor has been a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, in Quimby for 37 years. Last year, at 76, he had a 30-day rest from official duties and the pleasure of small town life while in a hospital in Cherokee, recovering from an operation. Mr. Stevenson was born in Pennsylvania, where he lived until 1887. He came west to Cherokee county in that year, and located on a farm 2 miles east of Quimby, which was planted the same year the Illinois Central railroad was built south from Cherokee. He lived on his farm for four years, then came to Quimby, where he has lived for 37 years. He has been janitor of the Methodist Episcopal church for five years, and takes a special interest in that position, as he helped move the old Methodist church building from its former site, and join it to the old Presbyterian church, which the Methodists had bought. He did the plastering and mason work in remodeling the two structures to make one large church building. Mrs. Stevenson is as active as her mayor husband. She raises chickens and a garden and keeps house better than many who are younger. They have three sons: Alvin, Calumet, IA, George, Lohrville, IA, and Russell Clark, Omaha, Neb. (son Willard died July 25, 1901) Among their household treasures are some wonderful pieces of handmade furniture, the work of a brother (Phillip) who was a cabinetmaker. One intricately constructed desk of chestnut wood has drawer pulls made of walnut sawdust pressed in a mold the shape of two chestnuts and foliage. A keepsake of the early days in Pennsylvania is a picture dated March 1870, showing a family of albinos, father, mother, and son, who appeared in a show. Another treasured keepsake is a picture of a grandchild hand painted on silk in Japan for a son, George, while on a trip around the world. Although Mr. Stevenson was too young to serve in the civil war, five of his brothers were Union soldiers and two, Jacob and Phillip, never returned.
