The recent death of Miss Martha Stevens at the Utica State Hospital deserves more than the brief notice it has received. In Revolutionary days one Frederick Stevens and his wife Mary Ann Getman and their little son Frederick, Jr. lived in Herkimer, and the father marched with Herkimer to Oriskany never to return. Time passed and an Indian called at the home, of the widow asking for food. It is impossible to describe the feelings of Mrs. Stevens when she recognized the coat he wore as one she had spun and wove, cut and made for her husband, and she knew that his slayer stood, before her. But with heroic bravery she hurried him from the house fearing others of the household should recognize the garment and disastrous results would ensue. The little Frederick married and his son Henry married Rebecca Cristman and in time came to Columbia to live, at an earlier date than any one now living remembers. Theirs was a home of plenty and of unbounded hospitality, and their large and pleasant family made it a social center. But all are gone. Jacob married and established himself in the west before the middle of the century. Frederick was a sergeant in the Civil War and died a few years later. Lois was emphatically a home girl, but after a long illness died years ago. Nelson married and remiained at the homestead but upon the death of the parents established himself in business in Kendall, N. Y., where he died several years ago. The sister Helen married Andrew Miller and remained at the homestead where she drifted into ill health and after a painful hospital experience her life ended at its midday. Martha, meanwhile had been consigned to the home she has since occupied. Two years ago Andrew Miller died and the homestead passed to other hands, and now the death of the last survivor, with no kin in town and few who knew her is most pathetic. Hers was not a remarkable career but those who knew her have kindly recollections. She was a dressmaker and did fine needlework. She was a member of the Baptist Church and of Columbia Grange. She had neared her four score limit and was one alone and we can duly hope that her future is brighter than her past. We trust a memorial service may be held later. A number of nephews and nieces living without the town and without the state.
