Biography of James Harrison Stevens
Occupations: carpenter, dealer in hardware, jeweler, general merchant, furniture dealer, keeper of a second-hand store, and a proprietor of two different hotels
Residences:
Biography states first 8-9 years in Wapello county IL, but census records show Warren County IL.
1860 Appanoose County Iowa, settle near Mystic, then only a group of houses
After the Milwaukee Railroad was constructed a station was opened and named Mystic. The same year that Mr. Stevens began his pioneer mercantile venture the first regularly operated coal mine was opened, but at present there are about thirty mines in the vicinity and the town has a population of over two thousand. As his partner only remained with him about one year, Mr. Stevens may truly be styled the founder of Mystic, as he certainly has been one of its principal business men and most enterprising citizens.
