Excerpt from Tributes to the Memory of Moses Tyler Stevens: Together With the Funeral Services and the Resolution of Certain Organizations
The children of the marriage of Nathaniel Stevens to Harriet Hale thus literally inherited an interest in woolen manufacture. They were nine in number. The sons were Henry H., Charles A., Moses T., George, and Horace N and the daughters were Harriet, Julia Maria, Catherine, and Ann Eliza. All the sons became manufacturers, Henry and Charles in the west ern part of the State, while Moses, George, and Horace carried on and enlarged the industry founded by their father. Upon the death of his two brothers, Mr. Moses Stevens, the subject of this sketch, became the proprietor of their shares, and until 1886, when two of his sons were admitted to partnership, he was the largest indi vidual manufacturer in the country.
