Lennox never grew much and reached about 4 foot. He was with his father until William Alexander returned to S. Africa in 1917/18, and from Elmenteita, Lennox moved to Glen Roi which belonged to Donald. Here he stayed for many years, in fact until he was too old and ill to stay on his own. He then went to Nairobi where he lived with his niece Patricia until his death.
