Individual:
1901 census Midland Villas Main Street Mountsorrel
Clarice remembers:
Alfred came to America to work in the quarries in March 8, 1912 because he was unhappy with working conditions in the Mount Sorrel, Leicestershire quarry. He found employment as a granite stone mason. Alfred made a home in Concord, New Hampshire in an apartment house on Chapel Street and bought furniture from a second hand shop.
During the winter the stone quarry closed up and Alfred worked in the State Hospital for income. He had an ambulance certificate that qualified him. He worked in all parts of the hospital - from mild patients to severe mental patients.
He then went back to the stone work but eventually returned to the State Hospital. Eliza also worked there one winter later.
