They were the parents of John, Peter, William, Eli, and Eliza. Benjamin served in the Civil War in Company A of the Indiana Infantry. Salem Democrat November 2, 1894 Nelson Stephenson, a prominent and wealthy farmer, who had spent most of this life on this farm in Vernon Township, but who had lived in Salem the past three or four years, died at this home here, Friday evening last, of Bright’s disease. His funeral occurred on Sunday at Mt. Tabor Cemetery, near his old home, and was in charge of the Grand Army Post of Salem. A large number of friends accompanied the remains to their final resting place. About two years ago his team ran away with him and re received a broken leg, which had to be amputated, and being 65 or 70 years of age, he never fully recovered his health. NELSON STEPHENSON, an old and respected citizen of Vernon Township, was born March 27, 1824, being the fifth in a family of ten children born to Benjamin and Mary (Grimes) Stephenson. His parents were natives of Henry County, Ky., from which place they removed to Indiana, settling on the farm now owned by Nelson. The father was of English and the mother of Dutch descent Nelson had limited means for procuring an education, but by his energy managed to secure a fair practical education, enough to enable him successfully to perform any and all his business transactions. He remained home with his parents until he attained his nineteenth year, and on the 2d day of March, 1843, hi& marriage with Jemima Maudlin was solemnized and to their union have been born six children, of whom three are now living. Their names are Peter and John, deceased; James H., who married Cassie Bogle; "William F., who married Martha Ashens; Eliza E., who died June 10, 1859, and Eli B., who married Martha Wade. Mr. Stephenson belongs to the Christian Church and is one of the influential members in that orcanization. He contributes liberally to all church and charitable causes. He entered the service of his country in the fall of 1862, and served as a private soldier until the close of the Rebellion. He belonged to Company A, Sixty-sixth Indiana Volunteers, and was in the following engagements: At Richmond, Ky., Dallas, Ga., Atlanta, Ga. and through the entire Atlanta campaign. By occupation he is a farmer and stock-raiser, in which he has made a decided success, having now in his possession 695 acres of well improved land. In politics he is a stanch Republican, and takes a lively interest in the political questions of the day. (thanks to Explorer)
