General Notes: Husband - George Miles Stephens

---

He acquired his education in a local public school and at several terms of summer school under the supervision of Prof. A. J. Bolar, at Armagh, Pennsylvania. For a considerable time he had charge of the store of A. A. Barker, at Dilltown, as well as for the successors, Warren & Hatch, who conducted a general store at that place. He was eighteen years of age when he enlisted at Pittsburgh for six months' service in the Rebellion, joining Company E, 2d Battalion, Pennsylvania Volunteers, of which he became a corporal under Capt. W. P. Altimus and Colonel Lintner. He reenlisted at Pittsburg in Company E, 206th Pennsylvania Regiment, under command of Capt. W. W. Nesbitt and Col. Hugh J. Brady, and served eleven months, during which time he acted as orderly sergeant. He was mustered out in 1865, at Richmond, Virginia. During the next three years Mr. Stephens was employed by a publishing house in New York City. In 1869 he took charge of his father's farm, and until 1885 devoted most of his time and attention to it. In 1885 he purchased the property and general store of George Dill, Dilltown, Pennsylvania, where he then improved the property and enlarged the business. On Aug. 15, 1887, he was appointed postmaster at Dilltown. His time was taken up with his store, post office, gristmill and farm, all of which he managed with financial success. He was one of the founders of the Farmers' Dilltown Telephone Company. He held various public offices; he was justice of the peace for five years, and was assessor and school director. In political faith he was always a general Republican. He was an active member of the Baptist Church, of which he was a trustee. [HIC 1913, 674]
