Born Near Augusta
Hiel Columbus Stevenson was born January 20, 1849 in a log cabin two and one-half miles northeast of Augusta in Hancock county. He was the oldest of five children of Mitchell Fleming and Mary King Stevenson, both of North Carolina origin.

When he was three or four months old the family purchased and moved to a farm southwest of Huntsville in Schuyler county, where he lived until the age of seven when his father purchased what is known as the Stevenson farm, one-half mile east of Huntsville. His father died when he was nine years old. An infant sister had already died. The widowed mother reared her family of three boys and one girl during the period preceding and following the Civil war.

He attended school at the public square school in Huntsville where he received all his education except for one winter at the Augusta school.

In 1871 he came to Elvaston where he farmed a place rented from his uncle, James King. This farm he later bought and made his home for forty years. From 1878 to 1886 he farmed near Augusta.

On April 6, 1886 he married Louisa Jane Sprigg at Quincy and established his home on the farm two miles north of Elvaston. The children born to this union were Norris Hiram, who died when he was four years old, Dana Hugh and Edward Hiel.

His sister Alice, and brother James K., preceded him in death. One brother, Samuel B., of Aurora, Oregon, survives. The surviving members of his immediate family are his wife now eighty-five years old; his two sons Dana and Edward of Elvaston and three grandchildren, Kenneth, Marjorie and Ruth Stevenson.

He joined the Presbyterian Church at Huntsville when he was seventeen years old and transferred his membership to Augusta and Elvaston according to his residence. He served as an elder at Augusta and also at Elvaston.

Those attending the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Chester Brooks of Stronghurst, Alexander Denny of Augusta and James Burmood of Huntsville.
