Alexander Stephenson, who was born
in Westerly So years ago, now a resi-
dent of Providence, is on 4 visit TO
Westerly for the first time since he left
here 40 years ago Alexander was the
son of a runaway slave who located on
the Watch Hill road and. who by hard
work and frugal living got together
enough to build him a home on the LOT
now owned and occupied by Charles
Coon superintendent of Wilcox pars.
It is said of the older Stephenson.
who came to Westerly in 1850, that he
kept the fact that he was a runaway
slave q secret until the issuance Of
President Lincolns proclamation de-
claring that slavery was at an end.
Up to that time when there was Il
KNOCK a the door of the Stephenson
home the visitor was met by Mr..
Stephenson, and always with gun in
hand fearing that he was to be taken
back to slavery He had resolved how
ever to be prepared to fight for a
continuance of his liberty. and if any
emissaries of his former owner came
to take him away he would shoot to
kill.
After the emancipation proclamation
the old mUsket was placed away and
callers night or day We're Welcomed
and without fear or trembling to the
visitors or the visited.
