General Notes: Husband - James A. Stevenson


He was a plumber, and with the exception of five years of early manhood spent in the oil fields, he was engaged in that line of work throughout his whole business career. In 1883 he embarked in business for himself, being associated with John M. McKarnes. About 1889 Mr. McKarnes withdrew, and the following year his younger brother, Edwin S. Stevenson, became associated with him, and they organized the firm of Stevenson Brothers, which came to occupy a leading place among the business houses of New Castle. They did a general contracting business.
He was active in politics for a number of years, and took a deep interest in civic affairs. For four years he served as a member of the city council, and during the last year was chairman of the Select Council. He was an Odd Fellow and belonged to Lodge No. 195, New Castle. He belonged also to the Northwestern Plumbers' Association.
