Wife of Dr. Charles L. Alexander Passes Away Here.
Funeral of Beloved Charlotte Woman to Be Held This Afternoon - 2 Children Survive.
Mrs. Charles L. Alexander, beloved Charlotte woman, died at 10:10 o'clock yesterday morning at her home at 900 South Tryon street. She had been in ill health for four months, and her condition became critical last Sunday.
The funeral service will be conducted at the residence this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. George Floyd Rogers, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal church, will be in charge, and burial will follow at Elmwood cemetery.
Active pallbearers will be Thomas W. Alexander, J. P. Stowe, N. V. Porter, Morehead jones, Frank Caldwell, j. Frank Wilkee, Milton McIntosh and Dr. Ralph Jarrett. Honorary pallbearers asked to serve are George W. Bryan, H. M. Pharr, W. W. Watt, Wade R. Harris, Associate Justice Heriot Clark, W. S. O'B. Robinson, W. H. Twitty, Word H. Wood, C. C. Adams, Ernest Moore, E. M. Victor and Moughby Chambers.
Mrs. Alexander is survived by her husband, recognized to be an outstanding dentist of the south; a daughter, Mrs. Floyd M. Simmons, of Charlotte; a son, Odom Alexander, of Charlotte; two sisters, Mrs. R. A. Martin and Miss Helen L. Odom, of Baltimore; an aunt, Mrs. L. A. Boyce, of Norfolk; and four grandchildren, Suzanne Simmons, Betty Simmons, Floyd Simmons, Jr., and Morgan Arrington Alexander.
Mrs. Alexander was one of the best known and most highly esteemed women of Charlotte. Her winning personality, nobility of mind and warm sympathies endeared her to scores of friends, while her intimates knew her as a devoted wife and mother, a cultured and delightful associate. In her more active years she held a prominent place in the social life of Charlotte and this section of the state, and was active in church circles, formerly serving for several years on the St. Peter's hospital board and leading the work of the women's auxiliary and guilds of St. Peter's Episcopal church, of which she was a devoted member of many years.
A strikingly beautiful woman, Mrs. Alexander was admired both for her beauty of face and of character. The passing years touched her but slightly both in personal appearance and in spirit, the grey in her hair being the only toke of the touch of time. Here and elsewhere she was called among the most beautiful women of the state and stood out conspicuously in any group.
The broad sympathies were to be seen in her fondness for children. She was adored by all the children of the neighborhood, who knew her as "granny," while her own grandchildren worshipped devotedly at her feet. Seeking the friendship of youth, Mrs. alexander quickly gained and held their confidence and love and made of her home a rendezvous for young people.
Mrs. Alexander was 59 years old, having been born August 23, 1865 in Northampton county in the northeaster part of North Carolina on Odom's plantation near Jackson. Well descended on both sides, she was Miss Sue Arrington Odom, daughter of Col. John B. Odom, large planter, and Mrs. Susan Arrington Odom, who was born in Nash county. Colonel Odom moved in 1868 to Baltimore, where he was a leading cotton commission broker, and it was there that Mrs. Alexander spent her girlhood.
December 20, 1888, Miss Odom was married to Dr. Charles Lee Alexander, of Mecklenburg county, who had recently been graduated from the Baltimore college of Dental Surgery and was locating at Charlotte. Here the dentist who was to achieve such eminence in his profession in later years brought his bride to grace the home and social life of the south. Here she bore her children, lived and passed on to her reward after a mature life of good deeds and living in the fear of God and esteem of mankind.
