Early druggist, 1881 pioneer
Died New Orleans
===================
GRIM REAPER
A telegram was received in this city last Friday morning from Stanley Alger announcing the death of his brother, A. M. Alger, at 10 o'clock Christmas night in New Orleans, where they had resided for several weeks in the hope of a lower altitude proving beneficial to the health of Salida's pioneer druggist.
A. M. Alger came to this city in the fall of 1881 from Weymouth, Massachusetts and a few months later opened up a small drug store in a room on F street about where A. Unger's clothing store now is. He had but a few hundred dollars with which to enter upon a business career, but with plenty of energy and a thorough knowledge of the drug business, he continued to prosper. His stock was increased from time to time until the little room occupied was entirely too small and in 1886 or 1887 the block yet occupied by the Alger store on the corner of First and F streets was built for his use. At the time of its sale about two months ago to Mr T. C. Bode this store was universally conceded to be the biggest and best equipped in this entire section of the state, and it has ever been the popular pharmacy. Mr. Alger was one of Salida's most successful business men. He was an enterprising citizen and there are yet many substantial evidences of his interests in public improvements. He was one of the original stockholders of the First National bank, of the Electric Light company, the Opera House company and owner of much valuable Salida real estate. One of his interests is the Disman & Alger block situated on F street between First and Second streets, one of the most central and valuable properties in the city. J. Stanley Alger arrived In the city with the remains 5 o'clock last evening and as we go to press arrangements are being made for the funeral service and burial, which in all probability, will be under the care of the Knights of Pythias & Odd Fellows he having been a member of both orders.
