My grandfather, Samuel Walter Stephenson, and his first wife, Nettie Watson Cariker Stephenson, donated one acre of land to build a Methodist Church in Augusta, Arkansas. Evidence is provided by this deed of land to the church. Because of the size of the document I had to divide it into parts. The land was deeded to the Church on August 2, 1902.
I had previously never heard of anything about this donation. The family, if they knew, never mentioned it.
