De Kalb - Representative from the First district, Bowie County, was born in that County, March, 17, 1861; acquired a good common school education and since reaching manhood has been engaged in farming in Bowie County, where he has long been prominent in local affairs.
He was married May 29, 1883, at Richmond Ark., to Miss Alice Lillian Carter, daughter of J. A, Carter of Bowie County, and has two living children: Henry H. and Virgil V. He is a member of the Free Will Baptist church and Democratic Party.
He has canvassed his district for Democracy in every political campaign that has been fought in Texas during the past twelve or fourteen years, has been a delegate to various Democratic conventions and in 1896 was nominated for and elected to the House of the Twenty-Fifth Legislature. He is a member of the following committees: Agricultural Affairs, State Asylums, Insurance, Statistics and History and Penitentiaries.
Mr. Alexander has introduced a bill providing for the payment of such mileage and attendance fees to special venire men, summoned upon process of court, as are now paid by law to witnesses and regular jurors; and other bills of less importance.
He is in favor of a government economically and efficiently administered, and will support every measure looking to that end. (Source: Texas State Government: A Volume of Biographical Sketches and Passing Comment, E. H. Loughery, McLeod & Jackson, 1897
