Biographical history
Alexander Webster, 1881- , was born in Perthshire, Scotland and came to Canada in 1905. His wife, Mrs. A. Webster, ?-1938, daughter Isobel (Simpson), and son Alex Jr. joined him in Fernie, British Columbia in 1906. Another son, Donald M. Webster, 1908- , was born in Fernie. The family later moved to Calgary, Alberta and in 1914 bought a farm near Airdrie. They farmed at Lacombe, 1918-1922, then returned to the Airdrie property. They were well-known for their livestock, especially Clydesdale horses, and Shorthorn cattle, and later Yorkshire hogs. They received many awards for their Clydesdales.
