Notes for AMBROSE ALEXANDER:
From "1882 History of Williams Co.", page 622 states "Ambrose Alexander, of the firm of Hood & Alexander, is one of the large number claiming Ohio for a birthplace. Coshocton County March 10, 1831, completes the record. His parents, William R. and Rachel (Dusthammer) Alexander, were of Irish and German descent. Mr. Alexandew died in Seneca County, Ohio, where Mrs. Alexander still lives." ...(referring to William and Rachel).........."Mr. Alexander's early educational advantages were very good. After the public schools of Huron County, he was in attendance at Bellevue High School, and followed teaching for twenty-one terms, during the winter seasons, and worked on the farm summers. He disposed of his farm in Defiance County and removed to Bryan, where he dealt in Texas real estate. From Bryan he came to Montpelier, where the present partnership of Hood and Alexander were formed. They are among the leading merchants of this place; have a large trade; carry a fine stock of dry goods, boots and shoes, groceries and glassware, values at $8,000 to $10,000. Mr. Alexander and Miss Clarissa M. Mann were united in marriage November 23, 1854 in Huron Co, Ohio. Mrs. Olice C. Mann died at her daughter's home in Defiance County. Mr. Mann's home is with Mr. and Mrs. Alexander. Of the two children of the latter, but one survives--Rosa M., who is married and lives in Montpelier. Mr. Alexander is a member of Bryan Lodge, No. 215. A.F. and A.M."
