The following excerpt is taken from W.W. Cox's "History of Seward County, Nebraska"-

Was another of those New York boys that tired of navigating a stone boat among the rocky fields and grubbing blackberry briars out of the fence corners. Charley was born in the town of Sanford in Broome County, Otcober 12, 1844. At twelve he caught sight of the star of promise and found the western trail which led him to Iowa County, Wisconsin, and there among the badgers he grew up and was so fortunate as to get acquainted with Miss Albina Stevens and they married, October 18, 1869, in Iowa County, town of Miflin, her native place. She was born April 23, 1847.

Four children came to brighten their home: Lawrence S., Horace G., Eliza, now Mrs. D.C. Showalter, Amy, now Mrs. L.L. Emerson. The family came to Seward County August 28, 1883, and settled in "F" Precinct on Section 32. Mr. Alexander is a member of the A.F. and A.M.

Mr. Alexander did not forget to go to the war. He heard the bugle call and enlisted in the 19th Wisconsin infantry, January 6, 1862. He is a wide awake citizen and has helped in every way to develop his county and his village. He has been postmaster of Tamora for many years.
