ALEXANDER, aged 87 years, 5 months, 29 days.” “Grandma” ALEXANDER, as she was familiarly called, was born near Danville, Mercer County, Kentucky, on the 29th day of May 1795. She was the youngest child of Samuel and Ellenor B. DUNN. She was married to William ALEXANDER, January 20, 1814. She and her husband removed to Indiana Territory in 1815, and settled at Hanover, on the Ohio River. About the year 1822 they removed to Bloomington, Indiana. While residents of the latter place they united with the Presbyterian Church. In 1841 or ’42 they removed to Greene County, Indiana, and settled at Jonesborough, where her husband practiced medicine for twenty-seven years. In 1867 they came to Bloomfield to reside with their son John. Dr. William ALEXANDER died March 6, 1871. At the time of his death they had lived together as husband and wife for 57 years 1 moth and 16 days. She was the mother of ten children, six of whom died before she died. She left surviving her, four children, Mrs. PHILLIPS,! of Colfax, Illinois; Mrs. BRANDON, of Owensburg; Samuel D. ALEXANDER, of Newark; and John D. ALEXANDER, of Bloomfield. At the time of her death her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, living and dead, numbered ninety-four. On the 25th day of January 1880, she united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, at Bloomfield, and died in communion with the same. When taken sick she told her children she had no hope of recovery, that the Lord had called her and she was ready; that she now had more friends in Heaven than on earth, and she longed to be with them and forever at rest. She was very patient under her protracted sufferings—gentle to all around her, and full of faith and hope in view approaching death. There was no harshness in her nature, nor words of reproach for any, no any murmurings against her Heavenly Father, from whose hand she received meekly the sorrows of life as well as it joys. Hers was a grand motherly ! heart overflowing with kindness and charity, not alone for children, kindred, and friends, but for all who needed help or sympathy. A mother in Israel has passed away. When the curtain of night had fallen upon the world her spirit took its flight, for the Great Master said: “She hath done what she could. It is enough, come up higher.” X. — Link to the Obituary of her husband, Dr. William ALEXANDER, MD [1793KY—1871IN] http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=3047 — Link to the Obituary of her son, Captain John David ALEXANDER [1839IN—1931IN] http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=4217 — Link to the Obituary of George Grundy DUNN [1812KY-1857IN] http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.lawrence&m=2123 —
