Fred L. Stephen

Fred L. Stephen, a member of the Morris Lumber Company, is one of the native 
Sons of Illinois, his birth having occurred in Kendall county on the 19th of 
June, 1864. His youth was spent on his father’s farm, and to the common-school 
system of the county he is indebted for the educational privileges which he 
received. On entering upon his business career he became a butcher and for 
three years conducted a store n Morris. In the latter part of 1897 he became a 
member of the Morris Lumber Company, the partners in which are Fred L. Stephen 
and C. B. Moore. They have a large lumber-yard and receive from the public a 
liberal patronage, which is well merited, for their business methods are 
honorable and it is their earnest desire to please their customers.

In 1888 was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Stephen and Miss Laura Hoge, of 
Morris, and their union has been blessed with one daughter, named Vivian. Mr. 
Stephen votes with the Republican party, and is a Mason, having attained the 
Knight Templar degree in the fraternity. As a business man he is wide-awake, 
progressive and enterprising, and by the careful conduct of his interests has 
secured a creditable success and will no doubt gain greater prosperity in the 
future.
