Notes for WILLIAM ALEXANDER YOUNGER:
Alexander served in the Union Army during the Civil War. A marker was placed in Tomahawk Cemetery, Tomahawk Community, on January 27, 1981, by Otto, Oral, Albert, and Fred Burgess. They were not sure Alexander was actually in that cemetery. He has relatives in the Osborn Cemetery nearby. The marker is next to the trunk of a large tree near the gate to the cemetery. -- Source is a copy of a note from Fred Burgess to Mabel Harper Motes (along with a picture of the tombstone).

Alexander is listed in the Searcy County, Arkansas list of the Peace Society, a group of Union sympathizers. Other members of the family were also involved in the Peace Society.

The following notes are from notes by Hollis Stanford:

Alexander Younger lived in Maury, Lawrence County, Tennessee until 1850. Shortly after he migrated to Marion County, Arkansas, and farmed near the town of Belleville. He joined the Union Army and served as a private in Company F 46th Regiment of the Missouri Volunteers. He was enrolled on the 15th of August, 1864, at Springfield, Missouri. He was mustered out March 31, 1865. When the war was over, he returned with his family to Riceland, Searcy County, Arkansas. He remained there and farmed for two years, then he moved to Tomahawk, Searcy County, Arkansas. From there he moved to a farm in Marion County, Arkansas, near St. Joe, Searcy County, Arkansas. He had trouble with a sore in his left eye from an injury he received from the fall of his horse in 1865 during the war. He applied for a veteran's pension in 1889. He died in Marion County, near the community of Burn, Arkansas, in 1906. Lucinda received a widow's pension of $8.00 a month until she died in 1913.

The following information was taken from BOONE COUNTY HISTORIAN VOL. XII NO. I DATED 1989:

"After the Civil War, we find Alexander Younger family in Searcy County in 1870 and 1880 and in Marion County in 1900. He died near Bruno on Jan. 1, 1906. A headstone was placed in the Stone Cemetery a few years ago, but it is not certain that is where he was buried. Several researchers believe he is in the Pea Ridge Cemetery, which is near the farm where he was living at the time of his death. Lucinda and her daughter Rebecca Taylor moved to Stone County, Arkansas, where she died at Fox and is buried in Antioch Cemetery at Rushing, AR.

"The 1900 census says that Lucinda had borne 12 children, 10 were still living........

"A grandson of Alexander told that he bought his whiskey in a five gallon keg. When he ran out, he remembered him hitching up the buggy, driving to a Government Still in Marshall to have it refilled.

"Alexander was bedfast for about a year before his death. "Uncle Shell" (Dr. Lay) had him on a medication, but he was just lying there. He took him off the pills. A year later he was still living but no better so Shelby took him off his whiskey. He didn't last long after that, according to the grandson.

"At age 62, Alexander, as "an old respectable and credible citizen of this Community" applied for pension No. 680.716, having served as a private in Co. F 46 MO Infy. Vol. under Capt. David Ruff. In this he states that he left Murray County, TN (Maury Co.) in 1849 and emigrated to Marion Co., AR, and remained there farming until the war broke out in 1862. His P.O. address was Yellville, AR.

"Then, because of "Brushwackers", he moved his family to Springfield, MO, a place of safety and under Federal protection, and having located them with the assurance of their safety, he joined the 46 MO Inf and remained with them until the close of the war. As soon as practicable, he returned to Arkansas and settled at Richland in Searcy County, P.O. Point Peter. He remained there two years, then moved to Tomahawk in same county. From there, he moved to the "?" of Marion County where "I now reside and have ever since." P.O. St. Joe, AR. (He is in Water Creek Township in 1880 and Liberty Township in 1900. Liberty was created from Water Creek and Hampton between 1890 and 1900.)

"His disability was a problem with his left eye and also a back injury resulting from the fall of his horse in 1865.

"On February 3, 1906, Lucinda Hinson Younger applied for a widow's pension. At that time she gave her address as Bruno, AR. She states that he died Jan. 1, 1906 near Bruno. Property he owned at the time of death was located almost, if not, joining the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery. (It is this writer's firm belief that this cemetery is where he is buried. A sister Hannah, and her husband, is there as well as other relatives. So why would they have traveled further than necessary, especially in January when the weather conditions were likely unfavorable.)"
