General Notes: Husband - David D. P. Alexander

---

He was reared at Apollo, Pennsylvania, where he attended the public schools. Leaving school, he became an apprentice at Apollo to the saddlery and harness-making trade, but finished his apprenticeship at Cannonsburg, Washington County. When the Civil War commenced he was among the first to enter the Union service. He did not come up in size to the required standard of a soldier at that time and enlisted on April 27, 1861, as a musician in Co. G, 11th Pa. Reserves (or 40th regiment Pa. Vols.). He was a drummer and was with his regiment in all of its long marches, numerous skirmishes and many hard battles, under McClellan, Hooker, Meade and Grant, until it was mustered out on June 13, 1864. This regiment was commanded by Col. T. F. Gallagher and Gen. S. M. Jackson and was in some of the hardest fighting that occurred in the Army of the Potomac. After the war he embarked in the grocery and confectionery and the hardware business.
On April 1, 1889, Mr. Alexander was appointed postmaster of Apollo. He was a Republican in political opinion, and a member of Kiskiminetas Lodge, No. 1993, Knights of Honor, E. S. Whitworth Post, No. 89, Grand Army of the Republic, and Encampment No. 1, Union Veteran Legion of Pittsburgh. He was a member of the Presbyterian church.
