Victim of the Lusitania sinking. The Stevens family from which Mary was decended were English settlers who had settled before the Revolutionary War, hob-nobbed with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, founded the city of Hoboken, pioneered steam travel by boat and by train, and Mary's grandfather, Edwin Augustus Stevens, founded the Stevens Institute of Technology. Much of Mary's childhood was spent at the family estate of Castle Point, which was razed in 1959 by the Stevens Institute of Technology to make way for a modern structure. She married Odgen Hammond and had three children Mary, Odgen Jr., and Millecent. She and her husband book a first class cabin on the Lusitania when it was sunk by a German torpedo. While her husband managed to survive the sinking she was thrown into the seas when her lifeboat capsized. In 1975 her daughter Millecent Fenwick was elected to Congress.
