HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
During this period he made so notable a showing that he was offered the presidency of the Lehigh Valley Transit Company, which controls nearly 150 miles of electric railway as well as consider- able lighting and power producing property throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. At that time the company was yearly showing a deficit, now it is earning enough to pay a 4 per cent. dividend on the preferred stock. Mr. Stevens possesses great managerial ability, and at the time of his election as president was undoubtedly the youngest railway president in this country. Since then he has twice been elected president of the Pennsylvania Street Railway Association.
Mr. Stevens has served as vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, Allentown, for a number of years, and is public spirited, and affili- ated with several fraternal societies, also the Phi Gamma Delta Society.

Stevens was a canner and packer of wide reputation, and be- came the organizer of the Sardine Syndicate of America, which controls thirty-eight factories throughout the country, and employs 6,000 peo- ple. In the fall of 1913, upon the announce- ment of Mr. R. P. Stevens' resignation as head of the Lehigh Valley Transit Company, much regret was expressed among the many friends he had made. The newspaper men of Allentown held a banquet in his honor, so did the boards of directors and officials with which he had been identified for years; and the boards of directors of the corporations over which he had been placed passed suitable resolutions upon his retirement. The aged father of Mr. Stevens was an invited guest to the banquet given by the official board of the Lehigh Valley Transit Company in honor of R. P. Stevens.

self, wife, two sons over sixteen years of age and 4 daughters. William Steward, in 1790, lived in Upper Mount Bethel township, and had two sons under 16 years of age and 3 daughters. This enumeration however, does not mention the name of Robert Steward, but in the description of the location of the 165-acre farm in the deed of re- lease dated 1843, by the heirs of William Steward to Reuben Steward there is the following clause : "Thence by land of the late Robert Steward, north 3072 degrees, west 90 perches to a corner, etc."
William Steward built a crudely constructed log house near an excellent spring and this served as a dwelling until after the erection of the pres- ent house. The log barn was razed in 1889 by W. H. Deshler. William Steward was a farmer all his life. He and family were Lutheran mem- bers of the Stone church where they are buried. His wife was Catharine Kleppinger.

In 1851 he built the present brick house, the bricks hav- ing been made on the premises from clay found near the present Biery's mill. The original log house stood until some time after the erection of the brick residence. After his death in 1888 the farm finally passed into the possession of D. G. Dery, of Catasauqua, after it had been in posses- sion of the family for upwards of 100 years.
His wife, Susan Hiestand, was born in 1818, and departed this life in 1904, in her 88th year. They are buried at the Stone Church, of which they were Lutheran members.
