St. Joseph Traveler
Wednesday, 18 May 1859

         DIED.
         
         RACHEL C., wife of L. P. ALEXANDER, Esq., died in
       Buchanan, of consumption, after an illness of six
       months, on the 4th inst., aged 38.
         MRS. ALEXANDER has been a resident of Buchanan
       during the past eighteen years. Her friends and
       neighbors feel that they have sustained a loss in
       this dispensation of Providence; but more particu-
       larly will she be missed in the family circle. She
       was a devouted wife, a kind and faithful mother, 
       and a safe adviser. The writer of this article has
       been acquainted with her since the days of her child-
       hood. Together we have rambled over the Allegany
       hills of New York, and along the valley of the
       "Lovely Genesee." Together we attended the same
       village school, studied the same authors, shared
       in the same sports. This pertains to her youthful
       days. Again, after an abscence of many years we
       have met. It has been our happy lot to share the
       hospitalities of the family during the past two
       years. We found her the same social friend as in
       years gone by. The Methodist Episcopal Church, of
       which she has been a faithful member during the
       last twenty-five years, has lost one of its bright-
       est ornaments in this place. Her pen was ever
       ready to defend its principles its uses, which she
       loved and practiced so many years. Although she
       was firmly attached to the church of her choice,
       yet she was not bigoted, and could worship with
       all who love our Lord and Savior. Her religion
       had its empire in the heart, and influenced the
       entire life. She was modest and unassuming, yet
       prompt in duty. - Her mission of mercy, efficient
       and far-reaching, was quiet and unobtrusive. Her
       reason remained until the last. A few moments
       before she died, she said "O, Lord, come quickly."
       He gratified her desire and fifteen minutes past
       6 o'clock A.M., the disenthralled spirit winged
       its upward flight to find a more congenial clime,
       and better home in.
          "The palace of angels and God."
             Susan B. Strong
             Buchanan, May 4.
