The Casket, May 22, 1900 McPherson - At Upper North Grant, on the 7th inst., in the 80th year of his age, Alexander McPherson (Carpenter). Only a few months ago his estimable wife predeceased him. Of a kind cheerful and genial disposition he never made an enemy or lost a friend. Consoled and fortified by the Sacraments for the dying, he calmly and peacefully passed away to his eternal home, in faith strong and vigorous. A daughter, Mrs. Rodden, of Dover, NH, and two sons, one in Neposet, MA, the other on the old homestead, have the sincere sympathy of the community in the loss of so kind and dutiful a parent. During life he built over two hundred coffins free of charge; now he lies in his own awaiting the glorious resurrection. May his soul rest in peace.
