Immigrated to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in March of 1905 on the ship "Parisian". Found his way to Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A. probably because his mother's brother, Samuel Hatheral, and other family members lived there. Alex married and moved back to Canada but could not find work, so he and his wife, Mary, moved back to Cincinnati and lived at 5572 Attica Avenue in Pleasant Ridge just off Montgomery Pike. Alexander (Alex) worked for the railroad most of his life and after his wife died in 1950 he made several trips back to Arbroath and Dundee. He was a pipe smoker all his life and would order his twists of tobacco from Dundee and cut the twists into pipe size pieces. Alex and his brother-in-law, George Duncan Watson, were members of Scottish Rites and on occasion dressed in their kilts.
