General Notes: Husband - Joseph Brown Alexander

---

He was a farmer and stock raiser near Willow Hill, in Metal township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Soon after his marriage he went to Clarion County, and was an operator in the oil products of that section for two years.

He grew up on his father's farm and was sent to the public schools of the township. In 1870 he went to the oil fields in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and remained there for six years, at the end of which time he sold out and returned to Willow Hill. He purchased the old Klippinger farm and gave his entire attention to the place until 1885, when he entered upon his business career. Opening a general merchandise business at Willow Hill, he engaged in same, later under the firm name of J. B. Alexander & Son. He was also one of the firm of Alexander & Elder, hardware dealers in Dry Run. Meantime Mr. Alexander did not abandoned his farming interests, but purchased extensively, adding to his original property the old Brown homestead of 120 acres and the old Alexander farm of his father, on which he carried on a large business in live stock. He came to rank among the busiest and wealthiest men of his community.
He was a stanch Democrat in his political views; he held no public office other than that of school director. His was the old family faith of Presbyterianism, and he was a member of the Upper Path Valley Church.
