Frances' faith in God and her family was her greatest joys in life.
Frances was born to
William and Frances Archer. Her father worked as a Mill Right in Oregon, so as an only child she lived many places throughout the state. On December 31, 1945, she married L.R. Alexander. And together the couple owned and operated L.R. Alexander Logging and Mad river Hardwood Co. Frances was Les' partner in life has well as all their business ventures. After retirement, Les and Frances were fortunate enough to be able to travel the world together. It would be easier to say where they haven't been rather than where they had.
