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.
