His wife was Eliza A, also 58 years old, and they had been married for 26 years. She had been born in Vermont, as had both of her parents. His occupation was “own income.”

      He is the Fred W Stephenson who died at Eitel Hospital in 1913. That Fred, for whom the informant was Walter E Stephenson of 1811 Vine, was born in Wisconsin on 21 February 1853. That Fred had been a life insurance employee. His parents were Charles L Stephenson, born in Maine, and Marth Washburn, born in Maine. Fred was buried in Oakland Cemetery in St. Paul on March 15th.

He moved to Galena, Illinois, in 1857 and resided there with his parents until 1878 when the family moved to St. Paul. He retired from business in 1898 on account of ill health and established a summer residence at Gloucester, Mass. The direct cause of his demise was an operation in Chicago 18 months ago from which he never recovered.” He was a nephew of the late ex-Senator, William D. Washburn.
