Doze Lake

rec'd this email today from Vicki Doze of Kansas...deb

This lake is along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border in Canada. It is a small lake, but who cares when it was named after a Doze! Joseph Wilbur Doze was the son of Augustus Doze who was the son of Peter Doze who was the son of John Claude Doze (John Claude Doze being our emigrant from France). Peter Doze was a brother to Victor and Joseph B. Doze.
