Alex was born the youngest son of Benjamin & Mary Kerr Woolstencroft. He was born in Giard Township & spent his boyhood days on the farm in Clayton County, moving to Murray County, Minnesota in the spring of 1869 where he located a homestead on Section 34 of Belfast Township. Alex owned this homestead until 1929. Alex was married to Harriet Latisha Snyder on July 17, 1879 & they moved to Fulda in the spring of 1881 which is where they lived for many years except the winter months he spent in the south, sometimes with his family & sometimes alone. He was a professional dog trainer & his occupation called him away from home a great part of the time until 1919 when his health would not stand the strain. He retired & since then has divided his time between his daughters' homes at Fulda & Worthington having no permanent residence.
