Alexander Louis Fraser

by George J. Dance

Rev. Alexander Louis Fraser (1870-1954) was a Canadian poet and clergyman.

Life
He was the Presbyterian minister in Great Village, Nova Scotia, in 1905–1914, and active in the village's Christophian Literary Society. As the ''History of Great Village described it:
 * The Society met fortnightly in the homes of the members, to spend the evening reading and discussing great literature. A winter each was spent on Keats, Ruskin, Mrs. Browning, Milton, Shakespeare, Dante, and two winters on Browning and Tennyson ....The Society did not long continue after Mr. Fraser left in 1914, but for ten years at least, each winter the Group had lived with great writers.
