He farmed for a time, and he was for awhile interested in the local bottling works. For several years, Ed's health was such that he was not able to actively engage in business, but after he quit business he built four beautiful brick bungalows on 160 and Walnut Street that will long stand as a monument to his enterprise.
Ed suffered from diabetes and happened to have one of the cases that respond very imperfectly to insulin. As he became weaker other complications arose and he suffered a great deal during the long decline that ended in death.
He leaves one brother, our townsman, Ira Alexander, and five sisters. The latter are Mrs. Anna Thomas of Milford; Mrs. Rosa Hubbard of Lamar; Mrs. J. M. Blake of El Reno; Mrs. Jessie Thomas of Milford, and Mrs. Kate Faubion.
Ed had a flair for dealing with the public so that when he embarked in a business he did well. But perhaps the last ten years of his life he was not a well man. He managed to carry on and remain up and about until perhaps three months before the end.
