Alfred Levasseur came
to Lumby with his brother Charles from
Kamouraska, Quebec. In December of 1904 he preempted
land in Creighton Valley that he worked on but never lived on. Alfred
was known as a "Jack of all Trades", clearing land, working the mill,
doing carpenter work and barbering.
His pride and joy was his horse who would take Alfred home when he
had drank too much. Alfred always said he wasn't afraid of any bull
as long as he had a pitch fork in his hand, but on August 24th, 1925
he was gored to death after poking a bull with a pitch fork leading
him from pasture.
