- Passing of Geo. G. Alexander
George G. Alexander, a pioneer citizen of Linn county, died at his home in Browning Sunday morning after a long illness dating back to 1911 when he suffered a light stroke of paralysis while attending the Old Settlers Reunion in this city, says the Linn County News. He regained much of his usual strength but suffered another stroke June 10, 1923, from which time he has been confined to his bed.
He was a son of William and Elizabeth Gose Alexander and was born March 28, 1842, in Eastern Tennessee. The parents were enroute from Virginia to Missouri when he was born. The family settle in this county in 1866 near Wesley Chapel in Benton township which became a community center. The mother died and the father married Miss Jane Seaman who loved and reared the family of children.
He was united in marriage March 1, 1866, to Miss Bell, the second daughter of Col. And Mrs. B.F. Northcott. To this union were born nine children, five of whom are living and were present at the funeral at 2 p., Tuesday and accompanied the remain of their father to their last resting place, the beautiful Jenkins cemetery. The living children are: Ben W., of Purdin; Mrs. Martha Trowbridge, Mrs. Elizabeth Nickell and Mrs. Ireme Garrett, of Browning; and Henry, of Alva, Oklahoma. Those who preceded their father to the great beyond where Davie, Lydia, Herman and Fred. Three brothers, David, Jonah and William, survive him.
He was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, South, at Browning, shortly after locating in that city ten years ago.
The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J.L. Bate, assisted by the other pastors of the city. Rev. Bates, during his discourse, paid high tribute to the deceased when he said, “He always responded cheerfully to every call of the church.”
