SAMUEL C. ALEXANDER
Samuel C. Alexander was born in Canada June 6, 1841, and died at the Hoffman Memorial hospital in Little River, Kansas, September 17, 1918; aged 77 years, 3 months and 11 days.
He grew to manhood in Canada and then went to southern Indiana where he was united in marriage to Miss Angeline Shafer February 28, 1868. To hem were born one son and three daughters. The son died in 1894. The three daughters are Mrs. A. C. Braughton of Little River, Kansas, Mrs. E. E. Gilpen of Hutchinson, Kansas, and Mrs. E. C. Haas of Wray, Colorado. Shortly after the marriage they moved to Holt county, Missouri, where they lived until 18784 when they moved to McPherson county, Kansas, and settled on a homestead five miles southeast of Windom. A few years afterward, he moved with his family to Windom where he has since lived, except for a short time he and his wife lived in Little River just prior to her death which occurred May 6, 1918.
Beside a brother living in Canada and the three daughters mentioned in this notice he leaves to mourn his departure six grandchildren and a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
Mr. Alexander was one of the pioneers of McPherson county, he having moved there when a young man when the nearest railroad was many miles from his prairie home. He there grew to middle age, and now, not only in the autumn of the year but in the autumn of life he answers the call that will shortly come to us all.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Methodist church in Windom by Rev. George Watts, pastor of the Methodist church at Little River, assisted by Rev. B. G. McCormick, pastor of the Methodist church at Windom, after which the remains were laid to rest in Bean cemetery.
