Alexander, son of Willie and Dovie Alexander, was born Sept. 4, 1927; departed this life April 8, 1931; making his stay on this earth 3 years, 7 months and 4 days. All was done that two good doctors, father, mother and loved ones could do, but little Harold had to answer his call. He was sick about a week when meningitis set up, lasting about a week. Little Harold suffered much till near the end, when all seemed to be peace and a great calm. He opened his precious, blue eyes and looked into his mother's face, then closed his eyes for the last time and fell sweetly asleep in the arms of Jesus. Funeral services were held at Pleasant Grove Church by Elder J.D. Putman, assisted by W.L. Kitchens. Little Harold was so tenderly borne out to the cemetery to the new made grave and lowered to his peacful resting place to await the glorious resurrection morn, when Christ shall come and call his sleeping dust from the silent tomb to be reunited with the spirit that has gone to God who gave it to us this short time. The time has been sweet little Harold has spent with us. He leaves a father, mother, sister, two grandfathers, two grandmothers, and several uncles and aunts to mourn their great loss. Little Harold was a great lover of singing and would often ask father and mother to sing for him while he was sick.
