General Notes: Husband - Charles Edgar Stephens

---

While yet in his "teens," he went into Neal Blythe & Co.'s planing mill at Monongahela City, Pennsylvania, where he learned the carpenter's trade and worked for some years as a journey-man. In 1887 he bought an interest in said mill and business, and continued therein as a partner for five years when, finding the firm was doing a losing business, he withdrew, selling out his interest to the firm at considerable sacrifice. A few months thereafter he and Thomas S. Neal, under the firm name of Neal & Stephens, entered as co-partners into the lumber business, and in a few months thereafter his brothers-William P. and Henry B.-purchased his partner's interest, and the firm of Stephens Bros. was formed.
