Columbus Journal, March 25, 1903
Mrs. Alexander, wife of H. J. Alexander, died Wednesday morning after an illness of ten days, with stomach trouble. Mrs. Alexander has been ill for several years but was not seriously sick until recently. The deceased was born August 21, 1843, in Jefferson county, New York, and when seven years old moved with her parents to De Kalb, New York. In 1885 she came to Columbus where she has since resided. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander were married February 18, 1867, and by this union one daughter was born, Maud, who passed to the spirit world six years ago. Mrs. Alexander leaves besides her husband, four brothers, Richard Scofield of Stuart, Nebraska, G. V. Scofield of Youngstown, Ohio, Stephen Scofield of Grand Encampment, Wyoming, N. E. Scofield of Truckee, California, and one sister, Mrs. R. A. Adams, of New York. Funeral services were held at the home residence just north of town, Saturday morning, Rev. Luce officiating, where a very large number of friends of the family gathered to pay their last respects to the deceased. A quartet choir sang "Nearer, My God to Thee," "Lead Kindly Light" and "Jesus Lover of My Soul." Pall bearers were F. H. Rusche, H. Hughes, R. C. Boyd, John Wiggins, C. J. Scott and F. Brodfuehrer. Interment was made in the Columbus cemetery. Mrs. Alexander was a woman of true christian character and was beloved by all who knew her. She was an earnest worker in the Methodist church. Her devoted husband has the sympathy of many friends in his bereavement.
