Wednesday, May 31, 1911
The family and Rochester friends of Mrs. [John] Wesley [Mary A.] ALEXANDER were shocked Tuesday afternoon upon the receipt of a telegram from Rochester, Minnesota, stating that that lady had died at 1:45 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Alexander suffered illness for several years and a little more than a week ago, in company of her daughter, Mrs. Jetta Sanger, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she went to Rochester, Minnesota, for an operation at the hands of the famous Mayo Brothers at their hospital. The operation was carried out Saturday and was successful, but the enfeebled health of the patient would not allow recovery from the shock.
The sad news of this well known and popular woman has cast a gloom among her many friends, and the family has the profound sympathy of all.
The body arrived in this city this afternoon at 1:35 o’clock over the Erie.
Besides the husband there are three children, Mrs. McALEXANDER, Indianapolis; Mrs. Jetta SANGER, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Vernon ALEXANDER, Peru.
The funeral services will be held at the residence Friday.
