of Adlai r. Stevenson was a native Of
the County Derry, Ireland, and emigrated
to North Carolina where with his family,
he located toward the close of the eight

Irish who came to America with him and
were the foundation of q community in
the CarolinaS which grew to influence
and prosperity.
In 1913, the grandfather of Mr.. Steven

took I'D his residence in Christian county.
He was q farmer, as had been his ances-
