Notes:

Alexander’s first job was that of clerk at George Weyand’s general store at Nassau. There he met Emma Weyand, who would become his wife. After several years, he became employed by Knittle’s General Store in Burton. He then bought the Zapp store in Round Top, before selling the operation in 1900. At that time he moved his family to La Grange and bought the White Dairy. He ran this business as a dairy and meat market, then later as a general store. Later, he became successful at trading horses and cattle, and then real estate. It was from him that the land for the La Grange Fairgrounds was purchased.

Alexander enjoyed music, especially playing the piano. Although an active Democrat, he never sought public office. In 1914 he became a member of La Grange’s St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Late in high life it was necessary for him to undergo a delicate eye operation which likely hastened his death.

Died:
early in the morning at his home in the old W. W. Ligon home north of the city

Notes:

Emma enjoyed her early life on the plantation at Nassau, especially the animals. She was also quite popular with the young people. After marrying Alexander, she raised her six children, and remained a devoted companion to her husband, who was often ill. In 1914, she, along with the remainder of her family, received the rites of baptism and confirmation, becoming members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in La Grange.

In April, 1930, the family celebrated Emma’s and Alex’s golden wedding anniversary. A few days later they visited their daughter Louise and her husband in El Paso. During this visit they also traveled into Mexico. Before returning home, Alexander submitted to a delicate eye operation from which he never fully recovered. After Alex died, Emma lost interest in many things, living resignedly and quiet. In October, 1942, she had a severe fall, became an invalid, and died months later.

Died:
