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.
"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 fine and soft as silk. His complexion was clear and white as that of an infant, with a delicate glow of red in his cheeks."
