The Forrest City Times' Art Souvenir-1905-Page 46:Mr.A.L.Stevens, the secretary and treasurer of the Nimocks-Stevens Co.,is so well and favorably known, that is hardly necessary to mention its points. A.L., as Mr.Stevens is favorably known to his friends, has long been identified with Undertaking and the selling of Undertaking Supplies, but takes kindly to the grocery business.. - The Forrest City Times' Art Souvenir-1905-Page 47:Mr.Otis Stevens, the vice president of Nimocks-Stevens Co., is the son of A.L.Stevens, and is a candidate for public favor, and we have no doubt will prove himself to be a worthy successor to his father and has charge of the warehouse and shipping department.-
Since 1898 the name Stevens has been associated with the funeral business in St.Francis County because it was at that time that A.L.Stevens Co, Undertakers, was founded. The business extends even further back, because the late A.L. Stevens bought the old Russ Stockard Undertaking concern, which formerly had been owned by I.H.Lutz. They also were involved in the livery business, with the first site being where the Gates Bros. Lumber Co. now stands, then moved to the corner of Washington and South Front Street where now stands the Quality Cleaners. For a short time it was located in the Elks Building. In 1931, it was moved to a new building on the corner of Washington and Garland street, where it now stands. At that time the old Nichols home was there, and was completely remodeled to become a faithful part of the attractive and modern day Stevens Funeral Home. A.L.Stevens came to Forrest City about 1896 to eventually enter into a partnership with the late R.M.Nimocks to found the Nimocks-Stevens Wholesale Grocery Co., of which he was Sect.Treasurer. At the same time he was operating his undertaking firm with his brother, Robert S.Stevens, assisting him. In 1888 he married Mrs.Emma Ahrens of Fort Scott, Kansas and to that union were born four children, all of Forrest City; Otis, now deceased; Irma, now Mrs J.B.Wright; Bessie, now Mrs.Fenner Laughinghouse; and W.E.Stevens, who has owned and operated the Stevens Funeral Home since his father's death in 1933 until April, 1952, when a severe attack of rheumatic condition confined him to his bed. In 1931, the Stevens built a home on North Washington in what was country at that time, and was the old county's race track. The land was also used for a circus, carnival, and ball ground
