AUSBURN T. STEPHENS, proprietor of the Stephens House, New Harmony, was 
born in Covington, Ky., November 15, 1819.  His father was James Stephens,
and his mother Sarah (Trail) Stephens.  The former was born in Virginia
in 1780, and the latter in Maryland in 1796.  James Stephens died in 1825,
and Mrs. Stephens in 1879.  The subject of this sketch was raised on a 
farm in Kenton County, Ky., and remained in Kentucky until January, 1855,
at which time he came to Posey County, Ind.  He settled on Section 22, 
Lynn Township, where he followed farming until 1884, when he retired
from farm life.  In this year he became proprietor of what was formerly
the "Randolph House," which he has since improved, and it is now a good
hotel.  He was married, in 1842, to Miss Elizabeth Hume, a native of
Kentucky.  Of this marriage there were born five children, four of whom
are now living: Orion W., Ezra A., Parthemia and Flora.  Mrs. Stephens
died in 1881, and Mr. Stephens was married, the second time, in 1884,
to Mrs. Hectorenna Beal, a native of New Harmony.  Mr. Stephens has been
a Mason since 1854, and in politics he is a Democrat.
