General Notes: Husband - William Alexander


He was born in Dickinson township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, on the Spring road, on what was known as the old Byers home farm. He was reared to farming, and received only a limited education, for he was obliged to begin work early, being a mere boy when his father died. Learning the saddler's trade, he followed this for some years, and after his marriage bought a home at the corner of East and Louther streets, a strongly built house of stone, and gave up his trade to engage in farming with his brother-in-law, George W. Shaffer. They bought land in South Middleton township, which they cultivated, and Mr. Alexander also had a brewery on North East street, which he carried on for a number of years, continuing thus until his death, which occurred at the old home just mentioned. He was a successful business man, and a faithful supporter of the Whig and Republican parties in politics.
