They were both successful in the practice of their chosen profession. They are both honorable gentlemen, worthy the calling of their profession, and they are mutual friends to-day. Dr. Stephenson married Miss Sallie Masterson, near Ora, Alabama. They have reared a family of six interesting children, three sons and three daughters. Much care is given by the parents to the education and moral training of the children. Irene, the oldest daughter, was educated at Meridian, Mississippi. Claudius Owen, the oldest son, is now in the junior class in college. He is an intelligent young man and very athletic—a fine baseball player. Sallie, the Doctor's wife, is a noble, good little woman, devoting her time and talents to the comfort and happiness of her husband and children. They have one of the nicest and most commodious dwellings in that town, and Sallie is a fine housekeeper. Her two beautiful daughters are educated and interesting, just the age to be most attractive. The family lives at Oakman, Walker County, Alabama. Hugh Watson, named in honor of his father and grandfather, is a busy man, practicing medicine day and night. He has an extensive and lucrative practice. Oakman is in the midst of a rich coal producing country.

William Claiborne, the second son of Dr. Hugh Stewart Stephenson and his wife, Jane Morrow, married Miss Eva Clark, of Rockwall, Texas. They have six children. The oldest is sixteen. Clay is a farmer near Rockwall, Texas.
