By 1880 the family was living in Beatrice, Nebraska. Along with her brother, Jeremiah Rogers, Stevenson became interested in Christian Science in 1885. She studied Christian Science with Janet T. Colman and Jennie B. Fenn, both students of Mary Baker Eddy. Although she also intended to study with Eddy, there is no record of her doing so. The Stevensons were members of a Christian Science branch church in Beatrice, and Orlando was a member of its Students Christian Scientist Association.
