About Henry Bailey Stevens and Agnes Ryan
Henry Bailey Stevens (1891-1976), author and playwright was born in Hooksett, New Hampshire, the son of Frederick E. and Lily Gray Stevens and the younger brother of Gray and Anna Stevens. He graduated from Manchester Central High School and Dartmouth College, where he was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. After graduation in 1912, he went to work in Boston for the Woman’s Journal, the suffragist newspaper, whose managing editor was Agnes Ryan (1878-1954).
Agnes Edna Ryan was born in Stuart, Iowa in 1878, daughter of Mary A. Ryan and sister to John and Katherine Ryan. She graduated from Boston University in 1903. Before becoming editor of the Woman’s Journal in 1910, she worked for the Riverside Press in Cambridge and on the staff of the Congregationalist and National magazines and for the Boston American. Stevens and Ryan married in 1915, she taking the then unconventional stance of keeping her own name.
In 1917, the couple resigned from the Woman’s Journal and Suffragette News in part because of their opposition to the war, a conviction not generally shared by the suffrage movement. The following year, Stevens obtained a position with the University of New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, where he stayed until his retirement in 1956 with the rank of director emeritus. Agnes Ryan organized the New Hampshire Peace Union, wrote poetry, and was active in the MacDowell Colony of Peterborough, N.H. The couple adopted two children, Peter and Patricia, between 1925 and 1927. Agnes Ryan died in 1954, Henry Bailey Stevens in 1976.
