Hiram, a widower, had come to Alberta in 1906, ranching near Sounding Lake, then purchasing land near Hardisty, Alberta in 1907. Alethea started school in the area in the spring of 1908. Hiram married Miss C.L. Thomson, a local teacher, originally from Ontario, in September of 1910. Hiram was mayor of Hardisty from 1925 to 1933.
