For months past, though Mr. Alexander was not at all times bed-ridden, the an nouncement of his passing would have come as no surprise, for it was known all over the county that hi8 condition was very feeble. He would have been 81 years of age had he lived un til the 21st day of the present month. In 1856 he was married to Miss Ar leen Bell, who preceded him to the grave only a few years. To this un ion a large family of children were born, the following surviving their parents: John P. Alexander, of Greenville; George H., Sapphire, N. C.; Andrew J., Hendersonville, N. C., James E., Asheville, N. C.; Daniel M., Warrenton, Va.; Joseph I., of Flor ida; Henry W.. of Oconee; Mrs. Mary Hudgens, of Qentrnl; Mrs. Arah Keown, of Oconee; Mrs. Annie Read, of Sapphire, N. C.. and Mrs. Elvira Owens, of Greenville. The deceased was a life-long member of the Baptist church, and foi the past 30 years he had been a deacon In the Cheohee church. He held an envia ble record as a Confederate soldier, and in his life sincj the close of the war he exemplified in marked degree tliose virtues so characteristic of military training -fidelity to every trust and a strict regard for truth and honor. He served during the war as a member of Company A, Second South Carolina Regiment of Infantry, hoing at the surrender directly under the orders of Gen. Johnson. Capt. K. E. Simons was at the head of his company when he and the other niomhers were paroled. Few men have become so thoroughly identified with a country as had Mr. Alexander with lils section of Oconee. Born and reared in the Cheohee Valley, he spent his long life within a radius of a few miles of the place of his birth, and there ls no man that wo have yet seen who has offered any statement with regard to Jordan Alexander save to praise him for tho virtues that shown forth from his dally life. In his death Oconee has lost one of her best citizens, and ho will be missed wherever ho was known. Fu neral services were held Monday af ternoon, tho Interment taking place at the Alexnndor burying ground, near Little River church. The body was accompanied to its last resting place by a large concourse of sorrow ing friends. To the bereaved ones The Courier joins with many others In extending sympathy in their sor row.
