Notes for ALEXANDER YOUNG:

G-grandfather Alex is buried in Falmouth.  His occupation at the time of his death

is listed as Fireman.

On his tombstone in Falmouth cemetery his name is spelled Alexandria, like the city,

however I beleive this is a stonecutters mistake.  His name should read Alexander.

Also I copied September 31, 1854 as his date of birth.  September only has 30 days.

 

Located him and Josephine on the 1920 census, Falmouth district.

George was 23

Eddie was 13

Lillian, Mary, Effie, and Henry had married by then

 

Alex died on a Thursday at 2:00 am

OBITUARY

MR ALEX YOUNG DEAD

Was Well known Citizen at  Falmouth

48 Years

Mr Alexander Young passed away at his

home in Falmouth Thursday at 2 a. m. in his

67th year.  He succumbed to hardening of the

liver, after failing health  for a few months.

Mr Young was a native of Stafford and was a

valuable citizen in the community in which

he made his home.  For 48 consecutive years,

Mr Young daily worked in the same small

boiler room of the woolen mill plant, where

he was employed as a fireman.  He started with

the original mill as established by Tackett &

Ford and was in the employ of the present

demise.  Mr Young possessed a most genial

and kindly disposition, and was a familiar and

well-liked figure among the mill workers for

the past half century.

Cause of Death: Cirrhosis of Liver/Gastritus age 67

Medical Information: Attended to by Dr. Jett, Falmouth doctor

 

Notes for ELIZABETH JOSEPHINE ROBERSON:

I have a newspaper obituary for Alex Young in which Josephine's name is given as

"Robertson" rather than "Roberson."  It should be Roberson.  Also given on death certificate as Robinson

 

 I was told that Josephine lived in a duplex with Crusie Jones and Effie(her daughter) in Falmouth and that, on occasion smoked a small corncob pipe.

It is of record that her death was reported by Crusie Jones.  Her doctor was John E. Cole
