Throughout his career, he became known for his depictions of rural New England and for creating vivid characters whose lives reflect the complexities of personal growth and community ties. Although he was primarily focused on writing short stories, his literary contributions were also recognized in various articles that he authored. Stephens lived a long life, passing away on September 22, 1931, in his hometown of Norway, Maine, at the age of 86. His writing continues to be remembered for its deep connection to the rural experience and its insightful portrayal of small-town life.
