Cornelius & Virgie Stephens, Texas

Knox City Christian Farmers (STEPHENS): My amazing great grandpa who everyone loved as a hard-working Christian man who wasn't afraid to help out in the kitchen. My great grandmother was called 'Mother Steve' She was a very devout Christian and my journey to discover the Lord and my ancestry began around the same time when I received one of her old bibles that she wrote in. These two people are a huge inspiration to me.
