General Notes: Husband - Charles H. Stevenson

---

He attended the public schools of Moon township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and at the age of sixteen years left his studies to help his mother run the farm, which she had directed since the death of Mr. Stevenson Sr., when Charles H. was just eight years old. He continued the work of running the home farm for thirteen years, or until he was twenty-nine years of age. In 1891 the entire family removed to Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, and here Mr. Stevenson became associated with the real estate firm of Reed B. Coyle & Company. This connection was continued until the failure of his health four years later, when he removed to Erie County, Pennsylvania, and there purchased a fruit farm and vineyard which he operated for a period of six years. His returning health encouraged him to return to Coraopolis, and he there engaged in the real estate business once again. Mr. Stevenson did not confine his activities to his personal and business interests, however. On the contrary he continually gave of his time and energies to the affairs of the community, and took an active part in politics. Up to the year 1898 he was a member of the Democratic party, but in that year transferred his allegiance to the principles and policies of Theodore Roosevelt, and joined the great following which was gathering around that striking personality. Mr. Stevenson long refered to himself as a "Roosevelt man." In 1904 he was elected to the office of justice of the peace and served for five years, or until 1911, when he was re-elected for a further term of six years. This office is responsible for the sobriquet of "Squire," by which he was known throughout the region. Besides the office of justice of the peace, he also served a term as member of the city council. He also served as a director in the Coraopolis Savings and Trust Company. Beginning in the year 1902 Mr. Stevenson's office was situated at No. 1108 Fourth avenue, Coraopolis, and his commodious home stood at No. 1022 State avenue in the same town.
