Weekly Reno Gazette June 11, 1885
A Pioneer at Peace

Isaac H. Alexander, died at 6 o’clock last Sunday, of consumption.  Mr.
Alexander was a native of Maine and 50 years of age.  He came to this coast in
1855 or 1856, and engaged in mining in Nevada or Yuba counties.  He came to
Crystal Peak in 1863, and for many years led an active and useful life.  When
the railroad was built he owned or was interested in four saw mills- two near
Crystal Peak and two a little below Truckee.  Later in life he did less
business.  He was engaged as watchman at a mine in Bodie for some time, and then
went east for his health.  He failed to find it, however, and a longing came
over him for the pure air and healthy climate where he had spent so many
vigorous and happy years.  His life’s work had been done here, and thoughts of
the strength of his prime, filled him with the hope that the breath of the pines
would renew his manhood.  But in vain, the seal was set and he daily grew weaker
until the end.  Mr. Alexander was a good man, large of frame and strong of
character.  His early history, perhaps, had a romance for he never married, but
what it was he never to told to anyone.  The funeral will take place at 2
o’clock to-morrow, from Mrs. Heulett’s residence.

Died
Alexander- In Reno, Nevada, June 7, 1885, Isaac H. Alexander, a native of Maine,
aged 50 years.
