This obituary appeared in the "Tomah Journal" on 4 Jan 1929. Tomah is in Monroe County, Wisconsin.) EDITH JOHNSTON ALEXANDER Edith Johnston Alexander was born in Monroe County (WI) and passed away at the Lutheran Hospital at Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Dec. 27 1928, at the age of 61 years. Mrs. Alexander had been visiting her adopted daughter when she contracted the flu. She apparently had recovered from this and on the day before Christmas she went out to call on some friends and do some shopping. On her return home she was taken suddenly ill again and was then taken to the hospital where she lived but two days. Her untimely death was a great shock to her friends and relatives. The body was shipped to Warrens (WI) accompained by Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hermann and services were held from the Baptist church on Saturday afternoon conducted by Rev. James T. Taylor. Interment was made in the local cemetery beside the grave of her husband who preceded her in death 36 years ago. Mrs. Alexander was a true and faithful Christian. She united with the local Baptist church some years ago and has lived up to this faith since. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Edgar HERMANN of Fort Wayne, Indiana; two sisters, Mrs. John Wayne [should be WINN], Withbear [should be Whitebear], Minn., and Mrs. J. E. IZATT, St. Paul, Minn., one brother, Emery JOHNSTON, St. Paul, Minn.; also a great number of other relatives and friends.
