Roman Citizen March 7, 1884
Alexander Bamber, of the Valley, died Friday, February 29, 1884, after several 
weeks of suffering from paralysis. He received the first shock some five or six 
weeks ago, which confined him to his bed. On the forenoon of his death he 
received another, from which he never rallied, passing away a few hours 
thereafter. Deceased was in his 48th year, and leaves two sisters, Lucy Ann and 
Mary Jane Bamber, to mourn Mr. Bamber was a son of the late Eliza J. Bamber, 
who died February 1, 1884, at the advanced age of 77 years, by whose death, it 
may be said, the last of the Davidson family has virtually passed away -- she 
having been a sister of the late Andrew, Alexander and Lucy Ann Davidson. The 
fact that Mrs. Bamber died on the first day of the month and her son on the 
last day, recalls the instance of the deaths of Andrew and Lucy Ann Davidson, 
whose deaths occurred in June 1878, Mr. Davidson breathing his last the first 
day of the month and his sister the last day, and both in the same room. Mr. 
Bamber's funeral was held from the house at 1 pm Monday, Rev. J. W. Simpson 
officating. The remains were interred in the Valley cemetery.
