From A History of Jasper County, Missouri Vol 2 August 26, 2011 by Joel Thompson.
Alden Besse bore the name of one of his immigrant ancestors, John Alden, one of the first Mayflower passengers to step his foot on Plymouth Rock, the line of decent, without doubt, being traced through his mother.
Educated for the ministry, Rev. Alden Besse became a powerful preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was well versed in Bible lore, having read the good book through three times, in addition to which he made a special study of the gospel.
He was a thirty-second degree Mason, and at his death, at the venerable age of eighty-five years, was buried with Masonic honors.
His wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Furrow, was born in Virginia.
She survived him, passing away at the age of ninety-five years.
Three children were born of their union, namely: Cincinnatus, Lucretia, and Minerva
