General Notes: Husband - James S. Dennison

---

He received a rudimentary education in the log cabin schoolhouses near his home. That he became a well informed and broad-minded man in after years, was due to his own efforts and his contact with the world. He came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, in early manhood and engaged in agricultural pursuits before his marriage. After that event he located for a short time on a property which was afterward known as the E. H. Dennison farm. From there he moved to Claysville, Washington County, where he conducted a hotel for a time, and from there to Uniontown, Fayette County, where he remained engaged in business until his death. This took place as the result of an accident, being thrown from the stage on which he was riding on his way home from a business trip to Brownsville. He was a Democrat in politics, but never was willing to assume official cares.

General Notes: Wife - Catharine Stevenson

---

Being of Scotch-Irish descent, she held to the Presbyterian faith.
With the death of her second husband, she again became a widow, and in the early summer following she removed back to the old "Stephenson homestead," from which she had been separated many years, and in which by inheritance she still retained an interest. She there, amid the scenes of her childhood days, spent the remainder of her life.
