Morris College before he left for Edinburgh, Scotland to attend medical school. His first medical office was located on 17th Street on the other side of the tracks in downtown Moline in one of the 3 big red brick houses located there. The cellar of this house was rumored to have been an underground railroad for run-away slaves during the Civil War. Later, the family had a house and office near the current location of the Moline Dispatch. The house had a widow's walk on top. But his parents wanted him to live on the farm and be in charge of it. So the family moved to the farm. They extended the house and added a nice porch on the front. All the Jamieson's would alway congregate there. They had a Strawberry festival at the end of the season and would make homemade ice cream. When Alexander died in 1897, his wife Norah stayed on the farm alone From: Passenger Lists: New York 1820-1850 FTM Family Archive #273 Alexander Jameson, Male, Age 3, country of origin Great Britain, Family number 30097603, ship name: Swantin, Port of departure, Liverpool, port of arrival: New York, Arrival Date Aug 9, 1842.
