From The Dahlonega Echo:
On Saturdry [sic], May 26, the Woman's Home and Improvement Club, at 3.30 p.m., opened the Stephenson Library to the public. Miss Ella Powell of Gainseville suggested the name in honor of Dr. M. F. Stephenson, the distinguished scientist and man of letters whose name is linked with the early associations of this historic town. [1]
