Mr. Stevens was among the earliest settlers of the Craig mountain country. Born at Fort Douglas, Utah, April 9, 1858, he went with his parents to California at the age of three years and in 1884 came to Lewiston, remaining for a short time, then locating at what is now Winchester, at that time a part of Nez Perce county. He gradually increased his land holdings and at one time operated a farm of more than 800 acres.
