On A Sunday Afternoon, The Stories Came Alive
Picture
Remembering the good old days: More than 70 friends and members of the Stevens family of Knox gathered at the Knox Historical Society’s Saddlemire Homestead on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, June 9, to hear Louis Saddlemire, left, and Robert Stevens, right, reminisce about their lives in Knox. When the stories ended, the “Mobil” sign that hung in front of Si Stevens’s gas station for 40 years was moved inside the museum and added to a display of historic photographs of the Knox blacksmith shop that became a local landmark as a gas station and gathering place for the town.

Avid listener: Jennie Stevens, Robert Stevens’s mother, was on hand for the June 9 celebration put on by the Knox Historical Society. “While many stayed and talked for another hour, 94-year-old Jennie Stevens … ran off to her fourth event of the day — a birthday party for her great-grandsons,” reported Jane B. McLean, vice president of the historical society.
