FRANK STEVENS, of Jersey City, was born in Dutchess County, N. Y., August 19, 1851. When he was four years old his parents moved to Wisconsin, where his father had large interests in mills and lumber. After a number of years the family removed to Chicago, where he received his education in the city schools. A few years later they returned East and settled in New Jersey.

Mr. Stevens attended Oberlin College, where he remained through the preparatory and junior scientific years. He then began his business career in Cleveland, Ohio, whence he removed in 1870 to New Jersey, entering a flour and grain commission house in New York City. Subsequently he entered the employ of the shipbuilding establishment of the late Michell S. Allison in Jersey City. In 1874 he established himself in the real estate business on his own account in Montgomery Street, Jersey City, later removed to No. 55, that street, and during the twenty-six succeeding years built up a business second to none in his line in New Jersey. In January, 1893, he organized his extensive business into the Real Estate Trusts Company, associating himself with a number of specialists in finance and organization, and largely increased the possibilities of the business. Mr. Stevens is extensively interested in real estate and in numerous companies. He is President of the Real Estate Trusts Company, and was one of the organizers of and secured the valuable charter under which the New Jersey Title Guarantee and Trust Company operates and has attained such wonderful success. He is one of its Director, and Chairman of its Finance Committee. He is Treasurer of the Jersey City Board of Trade and the Registrar and Transfer Company, was President of the Paulus Hook Building and Loan Association of Jersey City, and is a member of the principal clubs in Jersey City and a director in many companies.
