Stevens, Dillon

Stevens, Dillon, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was born at Hancock, Mass., April 6, 1794. He was converted in his twenty-fifth year, and in 1822 united with the New York Conference. When the Troy Conference was set apart he became one of its members, and continued to labor until 1846, when he became supernumerary. He settled in Gloversville, N.Y., where he continued to reside until his death, Jan. 10, 1861. He was a man of sound judgment and intellectual strength, well suited to educate the Church both in the doctrines of the Gospel and in the practical duties of Christian life.
