    1. [TNWEAKLE] Historical Newspapers-CLEVELAND STEVENSON STEPHENSON
    2. 1892-12-14-KALAMAZOO GAZETTE-Michigan His name is Cleveland Stevenson. The leading attraction in the town of Martin, Tenn., just now is a 13-year-old boy with a remarkable name. Cleveland Stevenson is the youngest son of W. W. Stevenson of that place. He was born at Mounty Pelia, Weakley county, Tenn., in 1879. His father at his birth asked the attending physician to name the child. The doctor had just arrived from Buffalo, N. Y. He was a personal friend of Grover Cleveland, who was then mayor of Buffalo. So he said to mr. Stevenson: "Let's name him Cleveland Stevenson, after a man who, if he live will be president of the United States." So they had the child christened Cleveland Stevenson. Now that he has the name of both the president and vice persident-elect the boy is fairly worshipped. The boy's friends are going to send him to Washington the 4th of March in great style to witness the inauguration of the president.-St. Louis Glove-Democrat.
