A. A. was a Fourty-niner traveling with his brother, Prentis, by ship to Panama, riding a mule across the isthmus and then again by ship to San Francisco, CA in 1850. While on the way up the west coast, he was involved in a mutiny and sided with the captain who finally won. He also was put over the side of the ship in a bosun's chair to repair a hole in the hull from running aground in fog. He was a ships carpenter in RI and in SF built bowling alleys, saloons, stores, brothels, etc. He was to meet his brother back in SF in 1855 but Prentis never appeared and has never been heard from again. Alford carried his gold dust sewn into his clothing back to RI and then bought the 200 acre farm in Zenda, WI where he lived for the rest of his life. d. 5 Oct. 1890 several days after a farming accident. The Herald, Lake Geneva, WI Oct. 10,1890 "Internment Thursday afternoon, October 7, 1890."
