Alfred was born 11 Feb. 1830 in Volney, N.Y., where he spent his early years. He left home in 1848 at the age of 18 to travel to Wisconsin with his brother Luther ("Lute"). In the following years he worked on Great Lakes sailing ships, on a river boat on the Mississippi, and with a timber cruising outfit in Minnesota. He spent some time traveling and exploring in Wisconsin and Minnesota. After returning to Wisconsin, he worked as a scout and hunter for immigration wagon trains going to Wisconsin from New York.
After marrying in 1852, Alfred and Cynthia lived in Mayfield, Wisc. for the next two years. In 1854 they moved to Minnesota with Alfred's brother Lute and his family, where they each bought farms in Blue Earth Co. They returned to Wisc. in the fall of 1856, and purchased an 80 acre farm 70 miles from Mayville. They lived there for about 6 years, during which time their first 3 children were born.
In 1861 they again moved west to Minnesota, and settled on a farm near Lake Crystal, again in Blue Earth Co., and it was there that their son Elmer Ellsworth was born. They had been living there for less than a year when they were forced to flee for their lives when the Sioux uprising of 1862 occurred. They stayed for a short time in Mankato, Minn., and then returned to Mayville, Wisc. After visiting there for a few months, in the spring of 1863 they returned to Minn., probably St. Paul.
They moved to Centerville, Minn. (near St. Paul), probably in 1865, built a large house, and lived there for a number of years. On 9 Oct. 1872, Alfred bought a farm in Columbus Township, Anoka Co., Minn., and this became his permanent home, except for the time he spent in Tamarack in Aitken Co. between 1889 and 1904. In addition to running a farm, he raised bees and sold honey.
Alfred died 19 Feb. 1920 at the home of his son, Elmer, and was buried in Oak Park Cem., Forest Lake, Minn. (R-1, R-5)
