[p. 552] of the firm of Stevenson Bros., the leading contracting plumbers at New Castle, was born in this city in 1865, and is a son of Silas Stevenson, who was one of the pioneers in this section of Lawrence County. Edwin S. Stevenson attended school and was variously occupied up to the age of twenty years, when he learned the plumbing business. He had a large amount of experience before going into business for himself, which he did some twenty years ago, in association with his brother. Both are practical plumbers and attend to their work personally, and this fact has made their contracts so satisfactory that they have an established reputation above all other firms. Mr. Stevenson has other New Castle interests, one of these being part ownership in the New Leslie Hotel. The Stevensons are members of the Central Presbyterian Church. They are good citizens, and always have been, and they stand very high in the community.
