Biography
Judge Henry Belfield LeFevre served as President of the Juneau Men's Igloo No. 6 of the Pioneers of Alaska in 1921.
He was born on April 8, 1857, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was the grandson of the Rev. Clement Fall Lefevre, prominent in the history of the State of Wisconsin, and the son of George Lefevre and Emma Beal Lefevre, daughter of the Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin in the 1850s.
As a child during the Franco-Prussian War, LeFevre spent five years in Europe with his mother, who had traveled there for her health. During that time, he learned to speak French and Spanish fluently. Because of this ability, many acquaintances in Alaska later believed he was French, although he was of English descent.
After the death of his father in 1871, LeFevre moved from Wisconsin to Lone Rock in eastern Oregon, where he engaged in raising stock and served in several clerical capacities. While there, he began studying law, specializing in probate work. He was also among the early students of the University of Notre Dame.
LeFevre practiced law for several years in Wisconsin and later in Kalama, Washington, and along the Columbia River district. In Heppner, Oregon, he entered the newspaper business and became editor of the Gazette, later taking over the Citizen in Puyallup, Washington.
He was married in Puyallup on April 5, 1891, and had one daughter, Ruth Elizabeth LeFevre.
LeFevre came to Alaska alone in 1895 and worked for the Treadwell Mine. He lived in Dyea and Skagway for about seventeen years, and in Skagway was associated with John W. Troy in publishing the Skagway Alaskan. His mother later joined him in Alaska and lived with him there until her death.
