Mr. Stevenson, a life-time resident of Hunt county, was born near Greenville November 20, 1867. He was married to Eliza C. Oar Feb. 4, 1892 and to this union 16 children were born, six preceded him in death, one being killed in action in World War I.

C. M. Stevenson was one of those hardy pioneer men, who helped to make his state great. His family life as might have been expected, matchless, and in rearing his large family he devoted every effort to making them splendid citizens. In that endeavor he succeeded and lived to see the fruition of his efforts, his friends said.

He cast his lot with Christianity in early manhood and united with the Methodist church. When he moved to Greenville he placed his membership with the Lee Street Methodist church where he was a member at the time of his death.
