Photograph, Victor and Agnes Stevens with Harry Hill
Shared by Te Hikoi Museum
A coloured kodak photograph of Victor and Agnes Stevens who were made life members of the Western Early Settler's Association, with Harry Hill, the President at the time this photograph was taken. The photo was taken at the Wallace Early Settler Museum in Riverton during a presentation made to the couple on retiring to Blenheim, according to information on the reverse side of the photo. Victor (Vic) was the son of Edward John and Mary Anne (Annie, nee Eveleigh) Stevens from the Riverton/Longwood area. He was born on 24th June, 1905 at Riverton, married Agnes Bertha Stent at Greymouth on 11th February, 1936, and died in Blenheim on 29th March, 1994. His wife died in Blenheim on the 8th September, 1994. Being made life members of the Wallace Early Settlers Museum meant that their contribution to this organization must have been huge. According to census records, his working life was as a electrical wireman and electrician on the West Coast and the Riverton Area as well as some farming before retiring to Riverton in the early 1970's before moving on to Blenheim at a later date. There is a book published on the Stevens family history in circulation.
