Adelbert and Joshua Stevens
were the 1st and 2nd children of Alonzo and Mary Judkins Stevens. They
were born on November 8th 1839 and November 18, 1842 in Phillips, Franklin
Co, Maine respectively. Their family had a long history in America. Their
Great Grandfather, Ephraim Stevens served in the Revolutionary war, seeing
action at Bunker Hill and rising to the rank of Lieutenant. In the late
1840's Alonzo and Mary Stevens took their family to southwestern Wisconsin.
They settled as farmers and eventually had ten children. When the civil
war broke out 4 of their children would serve.
When the civil war broke
out Adelbert and his 1st cousin Gustavus Stevens joined the 12th Wisconsin
Infantry, Company K. Adelbert served in the 12th from 1861 to 1865 rising
to the rank of Sergeant. After the war he married and had two children,
but in 1871 his young wife died quite suddenly. Around 1880 he moved to
Ocheyedan, Osceola Co, Iowa living as a farmer. Adelbert V Stevens died

4 months later due to illness in April of 1862. In October of 1863 Joshua
joined the 30th Wisconsin Infantry, Company A. With the 30th he saw service
in northern Wisconsin and in South Dakota. He was discharge in 1865 due
to the wars end. After the war he married and had one child. He moved to
Ocheyedan, Iowa in the late 1870's but returned to Richland Co, Wisconsin
and died on May 4, 1882. He is buried in the Richland Center Cemetery,

one child, which died young.
Gustavus A Stevens was
the oldest child of Lorenzo and Eliza Sylvester Stevens. He was born in
Phillips, Franklin Co, Maine on April 9th, 1843. Lorenzo Stevens along
with his brother Alonzo Stevens moved to southwestern Wisconsin in the
late 1840's to live as farmers. When the civil war broke out, Gustavus
and his 1st Cousin Adelbert Stevens both joined the 12th Wisconsin Infantry,
Company K. Adelbert served until September of 1863 when he was arrested
for robbery. He was court-martialed and sentenced to 10 months in prison.
He died of disease on August 19th, 1864 and was buried near Vicksburg,
Mississippi. Gustavus was not married and had no children. Gustavus parents
had another child in February of 1865 six months after his death. They
named him after his late brother, Gustavus Stevens. The latter Gustavus
Stevens lived until 1942.
