John J. Stevens

Biography

John J. Stevens, born in 1852, spent his years building trust through quiet acts of service, always mindful of the needs of his neighbors and intent on fostering mutual respect. He was someone whom others looked to for a fair answer and a kind ear, making him a reliable companion through life’s ups and downs.
