From a 1919 bio
Alexander Elder was an Ohioan, and his wife came from Indiana. They
were married in Iowa, for Grandfather McKissick had moved out from Indiana to Monroe County, Iowa, before the Civil War, and the ceremony took place in that county just before the outbreak of the war.
Alexander Elder farmed there and enlisted in Company A, Thirty-sixth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and served through the last two years of the war, being wounded at Mark's Mill, Ark. After the war he resumed farming in Iowa. In 1890 he moved with his family to Fowler, Cal.
Alexander Elder and Mary McKissick Elder had six children, five boys and one girl. In 1919 all were living except the third eldest, Perry Elder, who served as deputy sheriff under Jay Scott in Fresno County, and who died in Fowler, in 1901.
The five still living in 1919 are: Thomas, a farmer of Holt County, Nebr. ; Harland E. ; Carrie, the wife of W. W. Hicks, of Orosi ; J. F., who lives two miles north-west of Fowler ; and Charles, who is southeast of that town.
