General Notes: Husband - Thomas Clark Alexander


He first learned the trade of a tailor. Not liking this, he studied languages at a boarding school, and then the profession of medicine, with Dr. J. P. Leuden, of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Exposure while engaged in study produced disease, of which he died, in his twenty-sixth year.
The personal beauty of this modest young man was so remarkable as to attract attention in a degree that often annoyed him. His jet-black hair was tine and soft as silk. His complexion was clear and white as that of an infant, with a delicate glow of red in his cheeks.
