Alex came to White Valley in 1889 with his son Tom, where they most
likely lived together on Tom's preemption.
On November 1st, 1892 he took land of his own, lot 235 along Highway
6, just west of Tom's farm. His wife Elizabeth joined him but did not
like the farm life, she soon moved back east.
He is remembered as having made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Cleophas
Quesnel when they were living on the Pierre
Bessette Estate. It was there that he passed away in 1921 at the
age of seventy four.
