MALVA L. ALEXANDER PASSES
Malva L. Alexander, daughter of John B. and Margaret J. Alexander, was born in Indianola, November 19, 1866, and died at the home of her brother, Lynn W., in Dallas, Texas, Tuesday evening, April 17, at half past five o'clock. Funeral services were held at the Alexander home Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, and Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Alexander left Dallas with the remains that evening at five o'clock for Indianola, arriving here at six o'clock Thursday evening. Short services were held at the cemetery Friday at eleven o'clock.
Miss Alexander continued to live in Indianola until 1896 when, with her mother, went to Dallas to make their home with Lynn. She enjoyed reasonably good health until seven years ago when tuberculosis developed and from that time on everything possible was done to prolong her life. Miss Alexander had spent six months at the sanitarium in Carlsbad, Texas, and two seasons in the sanitarium in Denver. Last October her sister, Mrs. Fannie Bennett, visited the folks in Dallas and Miss "Mal," as she was familiarly known here, returned with her to California where she remained until the first of February when she returned to her home in Dallas.
Friends here remember Miss Alexander as a quiet, unassuming girl and during her extended illness she maintained that lovable disposition which had endeared her to members of her own family and personal friends.
