Dr. James E. STEVENS 

	Dr. James E. STEVENS, a medical practitioner and druggist of La Camas, 
Washington, was born in Dearborn county, Indiana, February 22, 1863, a son of 
William and Elizabeth (BRIDWELL) STEVENS, natives respectively of Maryland and 
Ohio. James E., the third in a family of five children, lost his father by 
death in 1876, and was early thrown  upon his own resources. By his own energy 
and perseverance he has manfully fought the battle of life, and gained for 
himself a prominent place among the medical fraternity. In early life he 
worked in a machine shop, and while there saved the necessary means to carry 
him through his lectures, and to enable him to graduate in his chosen 
profession. Dr. STEVENS first studied under Dr. N.W. WOODARD, an eminent 
practitioner of Indianapolis, graduated at that city in 1887, and soon after 
completing his lectures took a trip West. After his return he practiced one 
year in Indianapolis, and then located at Castle Rock, Washington. Since April 
1892, he has enjoyed a lucrative practice in La Camas, and also conducts the 
only drug establishment in the thriving village.
	The Doctor was married July 30, 1891, to Miss Jessie A. MOORE, a 
native of Minnesota.
