Wellington Leader April 11, 1985
J.B. Stevenson, 96, a business, church and civic leader, died in Collingsworth General Hospital Saturday, April 6, after being critically ill a short time.
From his arrival in Wellington in 1922, until he retired in 1968, his business activities were tied in with the farm economy of the county.
Mr. Stevenson came to Wellington as a cotton buyer, but it was not long until he was also dealing in grain.
Still later he was the Chrysler-Plymouth dealer in this area, then for 32 years he was the dealer for Allis-Chalmers farm equipment until he retired. He also farmed and was engaged in custom combine and hay baling operations.
James Brame Stevenson was born February 17, 1889 at Sulphur Bluff, the son of James and Cora Cain Stevenson.
He attended East Texas State University, and was a veteran of World War I, serving in the Army Ordnance Company in France.
Mr. Stevenson was a member of First United Methodist Church, served on the Board of Stewards and taught an adult Sunday School class. He belonged to the American Legion, the Masonic Lodge and Wellington Kiwanis Club for many years.
He was married to Mary Matilda Williams June 16, 1920 in Fort Worth.
They were among those who organized Wellington's oldest social club, the Thursday Night Dinner Bridge Club.
Active in the Wellington Cemetery Association in more recent years, he is credited with suggesting the memorial gift plan by which the association derives part of its funds.
Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Mary Stevenson; one daughter, Mrs. Orland (Frances) Butler of Lubbock; one son, James Lee Stevenson of Tucson, AZ; two sisters, Mrs. Alta Hufford and Miss Mary Stevenson, both of Wichita Falls.
There are 7 grandchildren: Dan Butler of Spring; Susan Gilmarc of Atlanta, GA, Jeana Parker of Mountain Home, ID, David Stevenson of Tucson, AZ, Alan Butler of Atlanta, GA, and Wayne Stevenson of New York City; and two great-grandchildren, Steven Butler of Spring and Nicholas Parker of Mountain Home.
