STEVENSON, PATTERSON



W. B. STEVENSON was born January 1, 1856, of Irish descent, son of C. L.

and Louisa STEVENSON, who were born in Giles County, Tenn., in 1832 and

1834, respectively.  The father has been twice married, our subject being

the only issue of his first marriage.  The mother died February 1, 1856.

W. B. STEVENSON completed his education at Bethany High School, and has

since been a successful agriculturist.  In 1875 he married Nelia, daughter

of David S. and Elizabeth PATTERSON.  Mrs. STEVENSON was born in June,

1856, and has borne three children:  Jerrena R., Zana M. (deceased) and

Annie Hencil.  Mr. STEVENSON owns a large and well cultivated farm, and is

a man of good business qualifications.  He raises considerable stock, his

farm being adapted to grazing as well as raising cereals, and he takes much

interest in establishing and supporting educational and religious

institutions.  He is a Democrat, and he and wife are members of the

Methodist Episcopal Church South.  For the last four years he has been

experimenting in growing hedge fences, and has been very successful, and

now has hedge on his place, three years old, which is sufficiently large to

confine stock.
