Mr. Alexander, recorded as C. W. Alexander, was listed in the 1900 census with his wife, Hattie, at their 119 Graham Street apartment. Charles was a framer of chairs. Sadly, the Alexanders two daughters had both died in infancy.
By 1910 the couple had bought a home at 24 Abbott Street. This address was a five minute walk from their last address on Graham Street, across Park Street and onto Guillow Street (now Crystal Lake Drive) and then a left up Abbott. This neighborhood is right next to Crystal Lake and obviously this cemetery.
It must have been awesome to watch the ice being cut and sold off the lake in the winter. This area was very active year round, actually, being the largest body of water in town. There would be folks just going for strolls on the lake edge and into the cemetery to visit relatives and friends. There'd be picnickers, swimmers and boaters, etc. Also, the Alexanders would have had a front row seat to watch the Greenwood Pool and Bath House being built in 1915. It was located on the edge of the lake on Park Street.
Regarding employment Mr. Alexander had remained at the furniture factory framing chairs. In the 1920 census he was stated to be a foreman at a chair shop. His wife, Hattie, died in 1929. Charles was enumerated in the census at his Abbott Street home, in 1930, with only a housekeeper named Emma J. Richardson, 65. Ten years later it was just him and a niece, Florence -------.
