MRS. ELIZABETH STEPHENS.—The Imperial Valley's history has been developed by men
and women who first settled it; more pages are constantly being added by the
same pioneers and by others who have come later. It is to the agriculturists of
this community that the growth and development of this section is due. Prominent
among the residents of Seeley is Mrs. Elizabeth Stephens, who owns three hundred
and twenty acres of land. Her husband, Isaac W. Stephens, died July 11, 1906,
and was buried in the family cemetery at Newport, Arkansas. Mr. Stephens was an
enterprising and prosperous rancher of Arkansas and he gained a well established
place in popular confidence and esteem. He was reared in the South and was
afforded a good education and attended the Arkansas College. He was a prominent
planter and stockman, and came from one of the first families in the South. He
was a loyal husband and father and did all in his power for his family whom he
cherished. Mr. Stephens was united in marriage March 30, 1889, and to this union
were born seven children: Mary Harriet, residing in Seeley; Isaac W., in the
United States service; Oram Datus, Gladys, Donald H., Louise, wife of William
Hoyt Colgate of San Diego, California, now serving in the United States Army,
and Elberta L.
