He was married to Eva Favour, and they had four children: Alpheus L., John, Catharine, and Mary.[1][2][3][4] In 1936, he wrote the definitive biography of the famous mountain man, Old Bill Williams, entitled, Old Bill Williams: Mountain Man.[5][6] In late November 1939, Favour went to the Mayo Clinic for treatment and observation.
