He and his family came to Texas in 1892 and settled in Brownwood, Brown County until they moved to Lamar County about 1900.
Mr. Alvord made missionary trips to the Northwest and visited relatives in Michigan many times after he came to Texas, but it was many years later before this branch of the Alvord family was able to visit Michigan.
Mr. Alvord had farmed in his younger years but suffered a broken leg that did not heal properly and throughout his later years, he had to use crutches to get about.
He lived with his son, Ray Allen Alvord.
Through his mother, Leah Beal, he could trace his ancestry back to John Beal of Hingham, Mass., who came to North America from Hingham, England. Female descendants are eligible for the Daughters of the American revolution through Seth Beal who fought in the Revolution. John Beal came on the ship 'DILIGENT' in 1638.
