Eugene Stevens was born Feb 17, 1853, in Joliet, Will County, Illinois. He was the youngest of 3 sons, born to John William and Harriett (Deverson) Stevens. When Eugene was 3 years old, his father, John W. Stevens died. When he was about 6 years old, his mother, Harriett Stevens married Franklin H. Bush who raised Eugene and his 2 brothers. He had 2 half brothers, (Charles & Arthur Bush) and 2 half sisters, (Harriett & Luella Bush.) He was educated in the Joliet, Will County, Illinois school system and he may have attended the University of Illinois at Urbana, studying mining, as he was well educated in mining procedures when he came to Colorado.
In 1876, Eugene moved to Georgetown and on July 28, 1880, he married Ophelia Ann Heatley, whom he met in Georgetown, where she and her friend, Kit Dunphey, had a millenary shop.
In Georgetown and Leadville, Eugene Stevens had become quite prominent as an Assayer and Chemist. He had studied geological formations, worked as a miner in the Red Elephant Mine, above Lawson, Colorado and in Leadville, had become one of the most prominent Assayers in the Carbonate Camp. His work consisted mostly of control assaying on ore settlements between the miner and the smelter - working on "check" work for American Smelting in Leadville.
Eugene had no middle initial/name and he had a grandson named Eugene Stevens who also had no middle initial/name.
