General Notes: Husband - Homer Stevenson


Left an orphan when eleven years of age by the sad and untimely death of his father, he was offered a home by the youngest sister of his father, Hannah (Stevenson) Crowe, who resided near Elkton, Columbiana county, Ohio. He lived there until his aunt's death, when he went to live with her son. In 1859 he came to Industry, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, to make his home with an older sister, Mrs. Hayes, with whom he lived until the outbreak of the Civil War. As soon as he attained an age that made him eligible for service, he enlisted in the army of the North in Company I, 56th Regiment State Militia, which was immediately dispatched for duty in West Virginia, to relieve troops guarding government stores. In 1863 he enlisted in Company K, 193d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, and while serving this period was the victim of an attack of ague, the second he had experienced in his lifetime, the first being suffered in Kansas. At the conclusion of the war he returned to Industry and obtained employment on a steamboat plying the waters of the Ohio, remaining in this service until 1872, when he was married and began farming operations. In 1880 he purchased a tract of fifty-two acres in Brighton township, and confined his operations almost exclusively to fruit raising, only growing enough grain to feed his own stock. He raised fruit of high grade, his products ranking among the best of the neighborhood. In local affairs he played a prominent part, supporting the Republican party, and was a member of the township school board.
