Henry F. Stevens, proprietor of the Citizens Coal Company of Boise and one of the partners in the Stevens Land & Livestock Company, was born at Fredericksburg, Virginia, April 22, 1885, a son of Lewis and Ella Stevens, who are now residing at Richmond, Virginia. The father is a veteran of the Confederate army and comes of ancestry that for several generations had been connected with Virginia.
Harry F. Stevens was reared on a plantation near Fredericksburg and in 1904 came to Idaho, spending the succeeding four years in ranching near Idaho Falls. He then disposed of his property there and in 1908 removed to the Boise valley. He devoted a year to ranching near Star and another near Eagle, after which he took up his abode on a ranch on Willow creek, in what is now Payette county. In 1911 he established his home in the city of Payette, where he engaged in the meat business for two years, at the end of which time he disposed of his market and removed to a ranch nearby, owning and residing upon that place for several years. He afterward devoted two years to ranching in Union county, Oregon, and for a short time lived near Wilder, in Canyon County, but through all this period still owned his ranch property near Payette. This he sold in the spring of 1919 for two hundred and seventy-five dollars per acre and removed to Boise. On the 1st of April, 1919, he purchased the business of the Citizens Coal Company from Carl See and E. C. Laughlin and is now sole owner of the business, which is one of extensive and gratifying proportions. He is also a partner in the Stevens Land & Livestock Company, which was organized on the 1st of November, 1919. His associates in this undertaking being C. Avery Kingsley and Cartee Wood of Boise.
On the 6th of January, 1909, Mr. Stevens was married to Miss Anna Fuller, a native of the state of New York, and they reside at No. 2413 Ada Street in Boise, where they have an attractive home. Mr. Stevens belongs to the Fraternal Order of Eagles and to the Boise Chamber of Commerce, while his political allegiance is given to the democratic party. He has made steady progress since his arrival In the northwest sixteen years ago. His business interests have been carefully and intelligently directed and his progressiveness has brought him to the front as one of the leading business men of his adopted city.
