Mr. Alexander waa torn at the coon try
ssat of tbe Alexanders known as Preston.
It waa in tbs part Of the District of
Columbia by Virginia la 1790 and which
was ceded back to Virginia In 1346.
The land was part of a grant by tbe
Colonial Governor to Caot. Howaon or
Howsing, six tbonsaod acres, for bring
ing b ship load of immigrant. Howson
sold bis land to Jobo Alexander, Sr. for
six hogsheads of tobacco. Out of this
grant waa carved tbe estate known as
Arlington, sold during tbe revolution to
Washington's step-son Cuetts by Robert
Alexander. It became tbe home of tbe
Leee later on. Th fine old ancestral
mansion of the Alexanders at Preston
was bornsd wan too ly by federal troops In
tbe civil war, and tbe tomb. stones in tbe
family grave-yard now alone mark the
locality. On another part of the Howson
grant bought r-y John Alexaoder, Sr. hie
son John laid oot tbe city of Alexaodrla,
Va. In tho settlement of the estate of
tbe father of Outtavus H, Alexander some
lots in Alexandria were sold which bad
oeen owned by the Alexanders for 270
yeare without a transfer; eaid tote tbe
longest aabreken private land title in
America. Tbe family la. Virginia waa
founded by tbe Immigr.ttion from Scot
land la 1009 of John, the name of this
family there was originally Macdonaid
and tbey belonged to tbe great bietorlc
clan of that name in the Hebrides
lslsode to wbicb they Immigrated from
Ireland ceaturit before.
Mr. Alexander was tbe son of Dr. Wm.
Brown Alexander and Frances Brown
who were deeceadaata of Dr. Ooatavus
Rloaard Brown of Maryland, who was
called in consnltatioo with Drs. Craik and
Dlok la General Washington's last 111
ness. Tbe name Gostavus Richard has
& baoilea down continuously In this'
family since the t7ih eentnry. as It cams
from an ancestor Onoaed liruu whose ile
waa a Bear klnawoman of -Gustavus
Adolphoa the Swedish kirg. Brun trans-
latetfbts nam ie to liibw'o on immigra
ting to Maryland. In a letter dated Jaa.
2, 1800, still in existence, Dr. Gustavo
Brown tr.prese regrele that he aod
Craik did not take Dr. Dick's advice
against bleeding Wanbington aod says
bad tbey done so "o or illoetrioo patieut
might still be alive."
For over two years Mr. Alexander's
health bad been declining and he had
olO'ied out thtt drug outtinesx in Ktngaton,
Mo. where he bd fteeu living since be
left Nevada and lo February last brought
bis family back to Lexington aod bad a
few days before hie Ouath bougbt a home
here where be liupf d to apeud a few yearns
in rest from business cares, lis togao
hie business life here abocl lSMaa clerk
in tbe drug store of Tboa. U, Edwards,
one or two doors teat of the present Grand
Central Hotel, the most of bis boyhood
having beeo spent on his father's farm in
Saline county, this state. After the death
of Mr. Edwards Mr. Alexander went into
Piggott Bros, drng and book store that
stood wbers tbe Nickell hotel now stands
He and bis brother bad a drng store cf
tbeirownln tho Uosewich Bid. In 18GC.
At tbe beginning of tbe civil war be went
to California and apent a good tunny
years there, in Oregon aod Waablogton
and flnal'y settled in Nevada, liviog in
Belmont, White Pine, Piocbe and otber
ceoters of silver mining Intercuts. Here
tbe practice of medicine aod snrgery was
forced on blm add having already a good
knowledge of anatomy and physiology
and the administration of remedies be
bad little to do to make np bis stndiee.
He got surgical Instruments and perform
ed such capital and otber oparatlooa as
tbe accidents in mines brought lo blm
and with good aueceee. He waa naturally
a chemist nnd became a tboroogh one by
long practice and atndy. As eoon an don-
tors came to bis to wo be confined htmsotf
to the drng business which be preferred
While living in Nevada became baok. to
iLexingtoo and married Miss Lucy
Moatfort Wilson, daoghter Jot the late
Captain Oeorge Wilson, to tola untoa
wore born daughters, Mary and Gastavla,
aad a son, Richard, all of wbos died in
infancy, and Georgle aad Susan who
survive. Tbe eontlnned decline of
values in Nevada by tbe shutting op of
the sllvsr mines brought Mr. Alexander
back to Missouri.
Mr. Alexander was a man of excellent
balance, genial,' good-natured, meeting
tbe good ia life with equanimity and the
bad with cheerfulness and fortitude. He
was a kind and faitbfol husband aad a
devoted father. Few men indeed have
stood more faitbf oily at tbeir poet in life
or done tbeir part in life more oobly than
he. He wae mentally studious aod aside
from tbe problema of chemistry and
medical practice loved to study astronomy,
mechanical Inventions, and bad a fine
talent In drawing and sculptors. He waa
'determined and pertinacioue lo his
undertakings aad opinions, yet always so
pleasant In manner as to make os
enemies thereby, being alwsys tbe gen
tleman. Us waa too eelr-saorlflelng, and
injured bis own health answering night
calls in ths worst weather for lbs good
of other's health. Ho was one of a family
of alas sons sod three daughters all of
whom lived to mature years aod of whom
but one, Mrs. Virginia Alexaoder Chap,
man of Virginia aurvlvee of these nine
sons not one has left a surviving son to
transmit tbe surname Alexander. In
Freemasonry be took tbs 33od degree and
was for most of hi life and at tbs time of
hla death an active member of the Inde
pendent Order of Oddfellows.
