General Notes: Husband - James Herbert Alexander


He attended the Hill School, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, where he was graduated in 1896. He studied law in the office of Hinckley and Rice in Warren, and on June 15, 1903, was admitted to the Warren County bar. He then was made a partner in the law firm with which he had studied, which came at that time to be known as Hinckley, Rice and Alexander. This firm, dating back about sixty years, was started as Wet­more, Noyes and Hinckley. Then it became, successively, Hinckley and Rice; Hinckley, Rice and Alexander; then, after Mr. Rice became a judge, Hinckley and Alexander; then, in 1908, with the admittance of William Stuart Clark (q. v.) to the firm, Hinckley, Alexander and Clark; and finally, after Mr. Hinckley became a judge, simply Alexander and Clark, beginning in 1909.
In addition to his work as a member of the law firm of Alexander and Clark, he rendered valuable service to his community in many ways. He was a Republican in politics, a member and once president of the Conewango Club, a member of the Warren Chamber of Commerce, a member and president of the Warren County Bar Association, and a member of the Pennsylvania State and American Bar associations. He was president of Warren General Hospital. Active in religious life, he was a vestry­man and warden of Trinity Memorial Protestant Episcopal Church, of Warren. In his spare time he enjoyed the out-of-doors and healthful recreations such as fishing and camping.
