ALEXANDER, Robert - (1828-1902)
Mr. Robert Alexander Dead
Mr. Robert Alexander, one of the landmarks of Burnet, died last Sunday morning in New Mexico. His remains reached this place yesterday, and were interred in the Old Cemetery, by the side of his wife.
The news of his death was received with deep regret by the people of Burnet. As an indication of the universal esteem in which he was held, every business house in town closed its doors while the corpse was being driven from the depot to the old home. Such homage is an eloquent testimonial of the worthiness of the man.
His four children, a number of brothers, and many other dear relatives and a host of friends were present at his funeral, which was conducted by Rev. J.M. Sherman yesterday afternoon.
