He moved often as a child in New York State, and at one point lived in Tennessee where his sister was born and in California where his brother was born.

Alfred and his wife Margaret, born in New York and Canada respectively, lived in many places before settling in Colorado: Michigan, North Dakota, Minnesota, back to Michigan, then to Colorado. Margaret died in 1914 and was buried at Oak Creek Cemetery in Routt Co., Colorado. Alfred remarried to Fidelia J Bendell. He is buried with his 2nd wife Fidelia at Riverside Cemetery in Denver.

This is a difficult family to search partly because they moved so much.
