General Notes: Husband - Elisha McCurdy Stevenson

---

Because of the large size of the family, his father was unable to provide all with a complete education, but Elisha M. received the benefit of the subscription school in Poland, Ohio, and in Pulaski, Pennsylvania. He then took a preparatory course for civil engineering, after which he dealt in merchandise in company with his uncle in Wayne County, Ohio. For about a year he was in Pittsburgh, interested in mercantile business, and then moved to Hookstown, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and again kept a store. At this time he married and still carried on his store until he bought a farm in 1831, which he cultivated himself up to 1890. For six consecutive winters, he was also engaged in teaching school, which meant a good deal in those days, when boys attended the schools until they were full-grown men, and delighted in throwing out a teacher whenever it was possible.
