General Notes: Husband - William Wilbert Stevenson
His ancestors were Scotch-Irish, and were very early settlers in the state of Pennsylvania, west of the Allegheny Mountains.
He was born in a pioneer log cabin on the family homestead in Scott Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where his people were among the earliest pioneers, the family locating in Lawrence County about the year 1800. Soon after his birth his parents moved to Slippery Rock Township, where he was reared to maturity, attending the common schools. Beginning his literary education in the Old Fox Schoolhouse, he was subsequently enrolled successively as a pupil in Rose Point Academy, Slippery Rock State Normal School, and Grove City College. In 1889 he began teaching an ungraded school in Slippery Rock Township, and he continued in the pedagogic profession for many years thereafter, rising gradually to positions of greater importance, and becoming principal ultimately of a number of advanced schools. For five years he was secretary of the Teachers' County Institute.
He accordingly began the study of law, reading in the office and under the preceptorship of Attorney H. K. Gregory, and engaged in the practice of law after his admission to the bar of Lawrence County. Opening an office in the L. S. & T. Building, in New Castle, he soon succeeded in establishing a remunerative practice, the more readily as he was well known personally to the residents of the city and county. Some time later he moved his office to new and commodious quarters in the Dean Building.
An ardent Republican politically he always took an active and useful interest in the politics of the city and of the county, serving as secretary of the county organization, and also as chairman.
He was past captain of Round Head Camp, No. 73, Sons of Veterans. Religiously he was raised a Presbyterian; he became a member of the Second United Presbyterian Church of New Castle.
