AARON STEPHENS, deceased, was born in the State of New Jersey in 1810; he was the son of Ebenezer and Maria (Phoenix) Stephens; he came to Warren Co., Ohio, with his parents in 1820: his mother died when he was quite young; his father died in Knox Co., Ill., in 1849. Our subject was married Jan. 1, 1835, to Miss Sarah Hutchinson, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Roosa) Hutchinson, natives of Kentucky and of French-Irish descent. Mrs. Stephens was born in Clermont Co., Ohio, June 22, 1816: by her marriage she had two children, viz.: Harriet, the wife of Henry Satterwhite, of Martinsville, Ind., and Dr. Joseph L., the discoverer of the opium cure. Our subject commenced life with but little means, and at his death had accumulated considerable property; he was a member of the Masonic fraternity and a stanch Republican; he was prominent in the politics of Warren County, and for about twenty years was a member of the Board of Infirmary Directors of Warren County. An industrious and energetic citizen, he exerted much influence in the community in which he lived. He died May 12, 1874, and was buried in the Lebanon Cemetery. His portrait appears in this work. |
