HON. MOSES T. STEVENS.


HON. MOSES T. STEVENS was born in Andover in 1825, and was one of the youngest sons of Capt. Nathaniel Stevens. Capt. Stevens com- menced the manufacture of woolens in 1813, carrying on the business for fifty years with prosperity. He lived to see his five sons, among them being Moses T., established in the same business. In 1850 Mr. Stevens engaged in business with his father under the firm name of Nathaniel Stevens & Son. The title continued until 1876, when the senior member of the firm having died, the concern was styled Moses T. Stevens, up to 1886, when his two sons, Nathaniel and Sam D., became associated with him. At that time the firm adopted the title of M. T. Stevens & Sons, which remains at the present time.


In politics Mr. Stevens has been a life-long Democrat. He was elected Representative to the General Court in 1861, and served one term. In 1868 he was chosen to the State Senate and served one term. In 1890 he was nominated by the Democratic party for Congress, defeating Congressman F. T. Greenhalge by 500 plurality. He was re-elected in 1892. He served on the Ways and Means committee, and took unusual interest in his work as a Congressman.


On Tuesday, May 12, 1903, Mr. and Mrs. Stevens celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding by giving a dinner to the em- ployees of Stevens' Mills.
