Tlie people of Contoocook met with a sad loss in the death of Rev. Mr. Stevens, who for fifteen years had been their minister, and who had taken an active part in all of the affairs of the plantation.
Rev. Mr. Price says of him, — ” We have not the means of ascertaining particularly the success of his labors, for want of church records ; but that he was very dear to the people of his charge, and his services satisfactory, are evidenced by their united attachment to his interest amid the trying scenes and sufferings to which he and they were called.”
