Biography
Nellie Strong Stevenson devoted herself to bridging generations by championing local reading clubs, modest classrooms, and the mutual aid that gave families a sense of security through tumultuous years.
Her gentle diplomacy smoothed many a community gathering, and she quietly mentored younger women who wanted to serve their neighbors; the legacy of her care rests peacefully at Bellefontaine Cemetery.
