Alexander was born in Hungary in 1899. He served his
country in the air force in World War 1.

In 1923 he came to Lethbridge and found work in the coal
mines. He later moved to Raymond and went to work as
a butcher.

In 1930 the Jozsa family moved to the T. M. Huff farm at
Wilson. There are six children in the family.

Three of the children attended Wilson School until the
family moved to Wrentham in 1939. Alex Sr. passed away
in 1976.

Alex's son liked to tell the story that his father couldn't
pay the hospital bill when he was born so the hospital
agreed to take thirty sacks of potatoes in lieu of cash.
