Alexander died in Christian County in about 1899. He is buried in Abundance Cemetery in Sparta, MIssouri. He moved with his family to Christian County, Missouri in the 1830s. He first married Louisa Ross about 1842. She died in about 1881. On 23 October 1889, Alexander Hale married Ellen Burlison. Alexander maried Mary E. Hale 17 July 1890. According to Christian County records, Alexander divorced Sarah M. Hale in 1890. This Sarah M. Hale is referred to as "a.k.a." Mary E. Hale. Is there anyone who can straighten out this mess? Please tell me if you know anything about this family. Thanks brian in springfield missoiuri
