Stevens, Morton E.
Biographical notes:
Morton E. Stevens (ca. 1864-1932), born in Goshen, Indiana, earned a law degree from the University of Michigan. Following graduation, he maintained a legal practice in Colorado for nearly two decades, until the Alaska gold rushes drew him to the North. He briefly practiced law in Skagway and Nome before settling in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1905. There he became a prominent attorney and gained a reputation as an authority on mining and corporation law. He was a member of the board of trustees for the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines (1921-1932), and a dormitory on that campus (now University of Alaska Fairbanks) was named in his honor in 1958. He died in Fairbanks in 1932, survived by wife Cora (Dickelman) Stevens and son Edwin Floyd Stevens.
Edwin Floyd Stevens (1915-1997), son of Morton E. Stevens and his wife Cora (nee Dickelman), graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Alaska in 1936 and received a degree in mining engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in 1942.
