Waskey, Alexander the fourth living son of the above subject, was born
within one mile of the natural bridge, in Virginia, August 8, 1843, and
was therefore but twelve years old when he arrived in Wabasha county. He
was reared on the home farm, and on reaching his majority traveled over
many different states. Tiring of a wandering life, he returned, June,
1877, to this locality. May 19, 1878, he was united in marriage to Miss
Almira Harrison, daughter of Henry and Maggie Harrison, of Zumbro
township. Two children have been given to Mr. And Mrs. Waskey, thus:
Edward Alexander, June 6, 1881; Gussie, July 17, 1883. Mr. Waskey is now
settled on a farm in Zumbro and is prospering.
