Later Life
After his term as territorial governor, Stevenson moved back to his farm. In addition to his farming activities, he won the contract for a profitable mail run. In 1894, he ran unsuccessfully for state governor. The strains of the campaign proved deleterious to Stevenson's health and he moved to Paraiso Springs in Monterey County, California in an effort to recover. The former governor died there on July 6, 1895 from a laudanum overdose and was buried at the Pioneer Cemetery in Boise, Idaho.
