Noted Pastor Dies In East; Occupied Covenant Pulpit

Dr. Frank H. Stevenson, former pastor of the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, Eighth and Elm Streets, died suddenly last night in Boston, Mass.

The news of Dr. Stevenson's death was received in a long-distance telephone call from Mrs. Stevenson to her sister, Miss Beatrice Shillito, Cunningham Road, Carmago. Miss Shillito said that Dr. Stevenson, with his wife and two children, was on a vacation trip when he was stricken with a sudden heart attack.

Dr. Stevenson, who lived at Princeton, N. J., was at the time of his death Chairman of the Executive Board of Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia.

In 1917, Dr. Stevenson married Miss Mary Shillito, daughter of the late Stewart Shillito, pioneer Cincinnati merchant. He is survived by his widow and two children, Frank H. Jr. and Mary Shillito.

Dr. Stevenson was pastor of the Church of the Covenant from 1915 to 1927, prior to its merger with the First Presbyterian Church. He was a leader in civic activities and was the first Ohio clergyman to broadcast church services. He was President of the Board of Trustees of Lane Seminary.

Dr. Stevenson was born in Escondido, Calif., in 1883. He was engaged in business in San Francisco when he decided to enter the ministry. He entered Princeton Theological Seminary and was graduated in 1911.

After a home missionary pastorate at the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana and a preaching mission in the Free Church, St. Andrews, Scotland, he was called to the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh. From there he came to Cincinnati. In 1918 he was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity by Hanover College.

Services for Dr. Stevenson will be conducted at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon from the Covenant-First Presbyterian Church, Eighth and Elm Streets. Burial will be in Spring Grove.
