Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, September 14, 1910 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Mrs. Julia Fellows Stevens - Mrs. Julia Fellows Stevens, who has been in failing health for three years died at her home in this village, Saturday forenoon. She suffered a paralytic shock about two weeks before her death. Mrs. Stevens was born in Baltimore, Maryland July 17, 1830, and was married to Jay. Howard Stevens August 27, 1854. Mr. Stevens died in 1875. Of the ten children born to them there are surviving are a son, Edward F. Stevens of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, and three daughters, Mrs. Charles M. Damon of Syracuse, Miss Frances Stevens of New York and Miss Faith Stevens of Pulaski. The funeral was held from the home, yesterday at two o'clock, Rev. E. G. B. Brown, rector of St. James church officiating. Mrs. Stevens may be called truly a musician by nature, with little instruction in the art of music, it was to her an absorbing delight from her earliest years. Nature had given her a rich and melodious voice and her touch upon the piano-forte was that of a born musician. Some of our elderly ladies look back with pleasure to the days when they were glad along the paths of music by her true hand. She was the first organist of the St. James Episcopal Church at the age of sixteen and played there for many years. When the fiftieth anniversary of the church was celebrated she played again. "The churches one foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord." On that foundation she rested, and was satisfied.
