- Short biography
- Mrs S. J. D. Stevens was born in Belfast, Me., July 17, 1839. Her parents, Benjamin and Eliza Dyer, soon removed to Troy, Me., where she has since resided. Previous to her marriage to Augustus Stevens, in 1861, she taught several district schools. Inherited scholarly tastes and an intense delight to wield the pen from parents and ancestors of each, although a natural diffidence and love of retirement have kept their rich thoughts hidden from the world. Her maternal grandfather was Hon. Hezekiah Chase of Amity, Me., whose widow, a beautiful and brilliant woman at the age of one hundred and one, still retains an active mind, and much personal beauty. the only grandchildren who inherit the name are Prof. G. C. Chase, of Bates College, and Rev. J. Aubury Chase, of Chelmsford, Mass. Mrs. Stevens has three children — one a student in Boston Conservatory, one in New York Medical School, and the youngest in Bates College. The education of her children has closely occupied the time and thought of the mother, but during the last two or three tears has given some time to the C. L. S. C. readings, and written several poems, mostly composed while doing the work that falls to the lot of the farmer’s wife. The Boston “Morning Star” is occasionally enriched with Mrs. Stevens’s contribution.
