I'm 75 yo which makes digging for information with the little I have. My mother was Marion Melvina Stevens b. 1910 d 2005 Her father was Evie P Stevens b.? d.1936 Fargo,ND, aka Pat Stevens, Eva Stevens&"EP Stevens". His wife was Carrie Dorothy Haugen, b. 1883 in ND Territory, d. Minneapolis MN 1968.Bearing 4 children, #1 unknown, #2 Arthur John Stevens b.1909 Fargo ND d. 1978? Larimore ND, Marion M b 22 Sep 1910 d 30 Nov 2005, Donald Patrick Stevens 1Sep 1921 Fargo ND, d. 22 Apr 2006 Mpls MN. All is hearsay about John, arrival abt 1850 w/possibly three brothers,he married a women from Indiana, Geneveive nsl, aka Nancy, Jane and others, died abt 1909 on a Oglala, Siouix Indian Res. In ND. They had 11 Children as listed prior email. Most of children b. Cylon, Wisconson, near todays New Richmond, SR Sylvia born in Hospital River Falls WI d @ 99 yo. The move to MN came next, to a NW county, a mid-trip stop at St. Stevens MN to drop off Sr Sylvia &Cortona to begin training for the Order St Benedict, Cortona died of pneumonia one day before her final vows b? d? The great debate goes on, 1-John E or John C Stevens, Reclusive, ill tempered, blew up when EP Stevens married my g'Mthr "A Convert", That's what I know, oops John married for the second time "Alice? b?d? probably buried with him in St Joes Cem Moorhead MN?
