Stevens, 49, town clerk of Orwell, took his life about 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 7, 1960 with a shot from a .22 caliber rifle. Mr. Stevens had not been feeling well and had spent most of the day in bed. Telling his wife that he would get dressed to go to a meeting of the town board, he disappeared into the bedroom. Mrs. Stevens was in the kitchen when she heard the shot with which he took his life. Mr. Stevens was seriously injured about three years ago in an automobile accident and was reported to have been despondent. The shooting was investigated by Sgt. C. E. Walburgh of the B.C.I. division of the state police and Trooper H. C. Fox of the Pulaski substation. Dr. A. B. Thompson of Pulaski was appointed coroner’s physician by Assistant District Attorney Thomas McCarthy. - Funeral to be Friday - The funeral will be at 1:15 p.m. Friday with a prayer service at the Brown funeral home in Altmar, and at 2 p.m. from the Orwell Union church, with the Rev.

Friends may call at the funeral home today (Thursday) from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Born at Waterville July 9, 1910, Mr. Stevens was the son of Ernest Stevens now of Watertown, and the late Grace Anderson Stevens. The family moved to Orwell following the death of Mrs. Stevens, and Orville Stevens attended school in Orwell and Pulaski, graduating from Pulaski Academy. He served in the Border Patrol and in the United States Navy with the Seabees during World War II. On September 5, 1933 he was married to Miss Mae Rose of Oneida.
