L. C. ALEXANDER
 
L. C. Alexander of Waco, Texas, is a native of Tennessee and removed 
to Texas with his father's family in 1849, and grew to manhood in 
the county of Smith.  When quite a boy he enlisted early in 1864 in 
what was known as the Texas Frontier regiment.  His command was 
ordered south and did duty to the mouth of the Brazos river until
the close of the war.  He was made sergeant major of his regiment and 
often acted as adjutant.  After the war he read law and made rapid 
advance to the front.  He was elected district Judge and after 
retiring from the bench he was soon in active work enjoying a 
magnificent practice.  He is an able lawyer and noted for his 
painstaking and careful preparation, and when before the court is 
a profound and logical advocate.  He is a leading lawyer and citizen 
of Waco, and his brief military service was made so only by his youth.
