Walter Fount Alexander was born at Burksville, Cumberland County, KY, on December 24, 1853, and died at his home near LaDue, this state, Friday morning, March 3, 1905.
In November 1880 the family moved to what is known as the Armstrong farm, 2 miles northwest of Clinton, dwelt there for some time, but removed again and have continued to live near Clinton of LaDue most of the time.
He married Miss Lille Waddell April 12, 1888.
Six children, one dying two years ago. While attending his mother-in-law's funeral last January, he spoke so tenderly and lovingly of the little departed daughter, saying, "We miss her so much it seems that we can scarcely get along without her. Grandma Alexander last May (1904) and now Grandma Waddell (Jan 1905), but we must all go when our time comes."
He was taken ill of pneumonia near the middle of February but had recovered sufficiently to sit up.
Early recovery was expected but on Thursday morning he had a chill, lost consciousness, then soon after another chill, and for 26 hours his suffering was great, being unconscious all of that time. Rheumatism of the heart was a fatal malady.
An aged father, and brothers, Perry and James Alexander, near LaDue, and sisters, Mrs. Gilmer of Blairstown, Mrs. Oscar Mitchell, and Mrs. Richard Angle near Clinton also survive him.
Interment in the Fields Creek Church yard.
