Biography

Emma Cooper Beall LeFevre was a charter member of the Pioneers of Alaska, Juneau Women’s Auxiliary No. 6.

She was born on December 23, 1835, at Fort Howard in the Wisconsin Territory, the daughter of Colonel Samuel Wooten Beall and Elizabeth Fenimore Cooper Beall. Colonel Beall commanded the garrison at Fort Howard and later served as acting governor of the Wisconsin Territory.

Through her mother’s family, Emma was connected to several notable early American figures. She was a grandniece of the author James Fenimore Cooper and a great-granddaughter of Lewis Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Although she grew up largely on the western frontier, she received the educational advantages of the East. On September 13, 1855, she married George LeFevre, a noted plainsman and scout who later became a judge in Colorado. The couple lived in Denver, Colorado, for a time when it was still a small trading post.

In 1867, while the family was living in Colorado, Emma became ill, and her husband sent her with their only child, Henry Belfield LeFevre, to Berne, Switzerland, for treatment at the famous baths. Judge LeFevre died on July 30, 1871. Emma and her son later returned to the United States and settled in Oregon.

Although essentially a woman of the frontier, Mrs. LeFevre was a writer of more than ordinary ability and a voracious reader. She maintained a keen interest in political affairs and remained well-informed about political and social developments throughout her life.

In 1898, she traveled north to Skagway, Alaska, and the North thereafter became her home. She moved to Juneau in 1913, where she lived for the remainder of her life.

Emma LeFevre died in Juneau, Alaska, on June 30, 1926. She was buried in Evergreen Cemetery.
