Bio

Born in Minnesota, he moved to Missouri when he was about 3 years old, where his father built and ran a mill. He married Dora Fischer, Apr 4, 1882 in Ozark County, MO. In 1897 he was living in Siloam Springs, Howell Co, MO. His father-in-law died while living with them at that time. From his nephew, Norton Pease: He ran a grainery mill and a retail lumber yard in Willow Springs, Mo. for his brothers, Myron, George & Clint, and he was an agent for the South Missouri Land Company. In 1895 he lived in Siloam Springs, Mo where he was a civic leader. He promoted and helped build a "nice 2-story school building, extra nice for that little village." But he had some financial difficulties, probably because, as Norton said, "he would plunge at first one thing and another, and he nearly always lost, but he was a boost to the community." He was a "society man," and liked to "move in the best society." After 1900 he moved to Cimarron, Colfax Co, New Mexico. In 1910 he was in Cimarron, NM. In 1914 Alando went to British Columbia near Lake Francis where he homesteaded some land there. In June 1915 Dora and their son Guy joined him in Canada. Six weeks after their arrival, Dora was accidentally shot in the chest by a gun Guy was cleaning. She died instantly and was buried under the floor of their cabin to protect her body from the wild animals. Alando and Guy left their belongings in Canada and drifted south, finally ending up in Canaea, Sonora, Mexico (south of Arizona.) When he was old Alando was afflicted with rheumatism and finally died in 1922 in Cananea, Mexico (during Panco Villa's time). Guy was working there at the time. His daughter, Fay, went there alone on a train from Little Rock, Ark. to help her brother bury their father. Alando's obituary (in the Cabool, Texas County, Mo. newspaper): "After a brief illness Alando M. Pease passed away, Nov. 6 at the home of his son in Mexico. Born in Vermont, Oct. 6, 1857. His parents moved to Rolla [Mo] in his boyhood days and from there to Douglas county where he began his career in the lumber and milling business. In the early days of Cabool he was head sawer at the Kendall mills south of here and afterward resided at Cordz, Dora and Willow Springs and in later years, Batesville, Ark., then to New Mexico, Canada, and old Mexico. Married April 4, 1882 to Miss Dora Fischer of Dora, Mo., a sister of Mrs. M.F. Simmons of this place. His wife died in Western Canada, July 25, 1915. One daughter, Mrs. Frank Handford, Little Rock, and one son, Guy of Mexico survive him and were both with him at the last. Three brothers, Clarence and Myron M. of Douglas county and Clint M. Pease of West Plains and two sisters, Mrs. Ed Wilson and Mrs. John Kink (sic-King) also survive Him." From his nephew, Norton Pease: He ran a grainery mill and a retail lumber yard in Willow Springs, Mo. for his brothers, Myron, George & Clint, and he was an agent for the South Missouri Land Company. In 1895 he lived in Siloam Springs, Mo where he was a civic leader. He promoted and helped build a "nice 2-story school building, extra nice for that little village."
