DIED.
In Chicago, Thursday morning, Dec. 22, 1887, T. H. Alexander, in
the 45th year of his age.
Deceased was born in Middletown, Frederick Co., Maryland, in the
year 1843, served four years in the U. S. Army Secret service, under
Gen. L. C. Baker. After the war closed, he came to Monmouth,
Illinois, where he met and married Mattie Bake, in 1868, making that
his home until he came to Red Oak, in 1869. Soon after coming here
the building on west Coolbaugh St., now occupied by Ashby & Andrus,
was erected by him, engaging in the grocery and hardware trade in
the days when our city was but a village. Mr. Alexander was next
employed by H. N. Moore, as cashier in the Valley Bank, where he
remained two years, or until 1873, when he accepted a similar
position with V. D. Stoddard until 1878. He next filled the office
of justice of the peace two years, since which time he has been
engaged in the insurance business.
Mr. Alexander was a member of the Red Oak Masonic Lodge, No. 162,
and the Oriental Consistory of Chicago, and was buried by the
former, in Red Oak cemetery, last Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
Rev. W. W. Merritt conducting the funeral services.

The Alpine Chorus.
The concert of the Tyrolese Company last night was an entire
success. It
drew well, and took well. The hall was well filled, and we have
rarely seen
a better pleased audience. The style of music is peculiar, but it is
pleasing and unique. The solos and chorus were equally good, and
enthusiastically applauded. The cleaver "YODELING" OF HERR PFISTER
DREW THE
HORSE, AND CAUSED A GOOD DEAL OF MERRIMENT. The solos of Fruleins
Heckell
and Major were wildly applauded. In deed, all was good, and we
heartily
commend the entertainment as worthy of large patronage. The company
present
a picturesque appearance in the national costumes. -- Virginian,
Lynchburg,
Va., Oct. 11, 1887.
