Death Claims Former Sen. J. M. Alderdice
Prominent Ellis Co. Resident is Dead in Corpus Christi
Burial in Waxahachie
Several Positions of Statecraft Held by Veteran Who Died at Home of Son While in S. Texas on Visit.
James Monroe Alderdice, educator and farmer, and long prominent politically, died late January 3, 1930, at the home of his son, Clayton Alderdice, In Corpus Christie. Mr. Alderdice was born January 14, 1863, near Lynnville, KY.
He received his early education in the community schools of his native county in Kentucky and after attended a Kentucky College. He came to Texas as a young man, in 1885, and got off the train at Waxahachie, to start life with new opportunities. He was always interested in education, having been a teacher a great part of his life. He taught school in his early days at Auburn, Mountain Peak and Milford, in Ellis County. He was married September 13, 1888, to Miss Ida Martha Barnes. Eight children were born of the union; Raymond, a son, died in infancy, and Lois, their only daughter, died at Waxahachie in 1913. Mrs. Alderdice died May 24, 1917. The following sons survive Mr. Alderdice: Anson of Harlingen, Clayton of Corpus Christi, Lloyd of Midlothian, Bryan of San Benito, Frank of Wichita Falls, J. M. Jr. of Waxahachie, and Dale Alderdice, the son of a later marriage.
Mr. Alderdice was always interested in education. He was county superintendent of Ellis county for several terms, and as a legislator he was interested in better schools for Texas. He was ten years in the legislature, and four years in the Senate. After his retirement from politics, he devoted his time to his farming interests near Mountain Peak.
Mr. Alderdice is survived by two brothers, Joe and Alex Alderdice, and one sister, Mrs. Mollie McClain, all of Lynnville, Ky. Mr. Alderdice was one of the “immortal forty” who attended the national convention that nominated Woodrow Wilson the first time for president.
He was a member of the First Methodist Church in Waxahachie. (some text omitted here) Mr. Alderdice went to Corpus Christi about a month ago on account of his health, having been a sufferer from heart disease, which caused his death. Funeral services will be Saturday at the home of his son, J. M. Alderdice Jr., 316 Kirven, with interment following in the City Cemetery. (list of pallbearers omitted here)
