Read More	Joseph Stephens, the owner of a magnificent farm of six hundred and twenty acres, located in Centreville Township, Linn County is by birth and training well fitted to win success in agricultural pursuits, his father having been a life long farmer and descendant of a long line of ancestors who devoted themselves to the tilling of the soil. Our subject was born in Fulton County, Ill., July 26, 1839, and is the son of James Stephens, a native of Kentucky, who was born in 1801. The mother, Margaret Peck Stephens, was also born and reared in Kentucky, the year of her nativity being 1812. The parents were married in the state where they had passed the happy years of childhood, but after remaining there a short time journeyed to Illinois and in the early part of the 1830's were numbered among the pioneers of Fulton County, where they spent the remainder of their lives. The Illinois homestead welcomed to its fireside a large family of children, namely: William, John, Mary A., Peter, Enoch, Joseph, Ellen, George, Jackson, Angeline and Marion. Our subject, the sixth in order of birth, was educated in the little schoolhouse of the district and aided in the work of the farm. Beginning life for himself, Mr. Stephens continued to cultivate the fertile soil of Illinois, and it was not until he had reached thirty years of age that he decided to try his fortune in another state. He traveled through the west for some two or three years, and then returning to Fulton County, Ill., was, upon the 12th of January, 1871, united in marriage with Miss Mary E. McDaniel, also a native of Illinois. Three children blessed their union, William, John and George. Four years and four months after their marriage the estimable wife and mother passed away mourned by many friends and sorrowing relatives. For a second time our subject entered the bonds of matrimony, and May 18, 1876, married Miss Sarah J. Beaty, a native of Coshocton County, Ohio, who was born August 15, 1850. Mr. and Mrs. Stephens have been blessed by the birth of four children, Isaac, James, Esther and Eva. For many years our subject has been a valued member of the Baptist Church. Removing from Fulton County, Ill., Mr. Stephens located in Linn County, Kan., in 1878, and settling upon a fine farm where he now makes his home has improved the broad acres with a comfortable residence, commodious barns and other buildings. He has brought the land to a high state of cultivation and now profitably conducts one of the most valuable farms in Linn County.
