From the Wikipedia article:
Stephens was sickly throughout his life; he weighed only 96 pounds. While his voice was described as shrill and unpleasant, at the beginning of the Civil War a northern newspaper described him as "the Strongest Man in the South" because of his intelligence, judgment, and eloquence. His generosity was legendary; his house, even when he was governor of Georgia, was always open to travelers or tramps, and he personally financed the education of over 100 students, black and white, male and female. So prodigious was his charity, that he died virtually penniless.
