  LLOYD C. STEVENS, postmaster at McCartney, Pa., is manager of a general store 
at this point which is owned by his brother, Blair Stevens.  Mr. Stevens was 
born May 2, 1856, and is a son of Henry and Susannah (Beck) Stevens, and a 
grandson of Vincent Stevens and Davis Beck.
  Henry Stevens and wife were both natives of Huntingdon county, Pa.  He was a 
shoemaker by trade and later was also interested in farming.  During the Civil 
War he organized and served as captain of Co. E, 45th Pa. Vol. Inf.  He married 
Susannah Beck and both are now deceased, their burial being at Lutheran 
cemetery, Center Line, Center county.  They had the following children:  John, 
who is deceased; Blair, who is a merchant at Kerrmoor; Martha, who is the wife 
of Charles Blake; Frank; Lloyd C.; George; Anna, who is the wife of Emory 
Stover; and Vincent, James, Abednego and Charles.
  Lloyd C. Stevens attended the public schools and had two terms of academic 
training in an institution conducted by the Society of Friends before one term 
at the Warrior's Mark Academy, after which he taught school for five terms, four 
in Center county, and one in Blair county.  In 1882 with his brother, Frank 
Stevens, he came to Clearfield, Pa., and they went into the farm implement 
business there and he remained in that place until 1892 when he came to 
McCartney where he is one of the leading citizens.  He was appointed postmaster 
during the period when Hon. John Wanamaker was postmaster-general.
  Mr. Stevens married Miss Jennie E. Confer, of Tyrone, a daughter of David M. 
and Anna M. (Wisegarber) Confer, natives of Bedford county, Pa.  Mr. Confer was 
a railroad man and met with an accidental death while at the post of duty.  Mrs. 
Stevens is the third born in a family of seven children, as follows:  Anna, who 
is the widow of J. D. Lucas; Leonora; Jennie E., Mrs. Stevens; Ella, who is the 
wife of Garvey Donaldson; Ida R., who is the wife of William Gingery; Samuel 
Harry Blair; and Margaret, who is the wife of William H. Huss.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Stevens attend the Presbyterian church at McCartney, but he is a member of the 
Methodist Episcopal church at Ansonville, and she of the United Brethren church 
at Tyrone.  In politics Mr. Stevens is a Republican and formerly served as 
auditor of Jordan township and as treasurer for one term, while at present he is 
a justice of the peace.
