(died 9 June 1944, aged 64 or by another account 70; the higher figure for his age seems more likely, in view of the general outline of his life), miner and prospector. Born at Dunvegan, GC. Parents: Alexander Grant and his wife Flora McMaster. Alexander Grant, the subject of the present article, is described in his obituary in the Cornwall Standard-Freeholder as “an old-time miner and prospector of the Kaslo-Ainsworth district,” British Columbia, who “died suddenly while blazing trail with his fellow worker, Mr. Ragotte, on Woodbury Creek.” Grant was in the Yukon in his earlier years. Altogether, he was for some 50 years in British Columbia or the Northwest. He was for some years a foreman at the Standard Mine, Silverton, B. C. He was probably the Alex Grant who was one of the Glengarrians present at the wedding in Dawson, Yukon, of Neil Stewart, of Dunvegan, on 12 July 1902. Alexander Grant lived in the Kaslo-Ainsworth district for the last 40 years of his life. He probably never married. He was the last surviving of his parents’ children. He had brothers James (d. 1918) and Dan (d. c. 1939) who, Alexander’s Nelson, B. C., obituary states, referring to British Columbia, “will be remembered as old timers.”
