He was born on his father's farm in the village of Dilltown, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, was reared there and obtained his early education in the local schools. Later he attended normal and select school in the county, and taught school for several years. Then he prepared himself for the study of law at the Classical and Scientific Institute of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, and soon after completing his studies there entered the law department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, on Oct. 1, 1884. He was graduated from the law department of that institution in June, 1886, with the degree of LL. B. On May 5, 1886, he was admitted to the bar and licensed to practice law in the several courts of the State of Michigan, upon application and examination in the Twenty-second Judicial district of that State. Returning to Pennsylvania, he was admitted to the bar of Wyoming County April 12, 1887, and on May 16th of that year was admitted to the bar of Lucerne County, at Wilkes-Barre, where he opened an office and practiced for a short time. He then removed to Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He was admitted to the bar of Cambria County, March 12, 1888, and was subsequently admitted to practice in Indiana (his native) County; on Oct. 13, 1890, he was admitted to practice in the Supreme court of Pennsylvania in the Western district of Pittsburgh, and on Sept. 25, 1900, was admitted to practice in the District court of the United States. In April, 1896, he was selected by the city council as solicitor of the city of Johnstown, for a term of two years, and was again elected to that position in April, 1898, and was still serving when, in November, 1898, he was elected to the office of district attorney for Cambria County. At the expiration of the term of three years he entered upon another, having been reelected, serving continuously until January, 1905. Beginning in 1896 he and his younger brother, John Harris Stephens, were associated in the practice of law. Mr. Stephens was a Republican in political allegiance. He was elected to the office of president judge of Cambria County, being the 47th Judicial district of Pennsylvania, in November, 1911, and entered upon the duties of that office Jan. 1, 1912, for a term of ten years.
