General Notes: Husband - Levi B. Stephens


He was born on the old Stephens homestead, in Washington township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood. His education was limited to the district schools of his native township. When he reached adulthood, he first bought a farm, later owned by John Patterson, in Perry township. This he sold, and in 1850 moved onto a farm in Washington township. He afterwards purchased another farm, which he also owned at his death. He was spoken of by his neighbors as one whose word was as good as a bond, and one who, in his dealing with his fellow-men, always remembered the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." He and his wife were for many years members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
