He was born on a Tuesday. He passed the Law Exam which would have allowed him to practice law if he had wished. Apparently he taught school in the following places: THE FOLLOWING IS A COPY OF A LETTER FROM JOE A. ALEXANDER I have attempted to transcribe this letter correctly. I only had some Xerox copies to work from and they are not very clear. I have attempted to copy even spelling and punctuation errors correctly; however, I am not certain about some of these since some apparent errors could be caused by a poor copy. Joseph Alexander lived until January 4, 1915. In 1908, there was a notice in the Star Telegram from the Brady Enterprise. It said that J. V. Alexander was visiting his uncle, T. L. Sansom. The article said that he had recently graduated in bookkeeping in Fort Worth. The Waco Daily Times Herald, June 23, 1909, p. 2 lists a marriage license issued to J. V. Alexander and Miss Lenore Daniel. On Friday, June 27, there is an announcement of the wedding. The following clippings were found in Lenore Williams's photo album. It is unknown in what newspaper or newspapers they were printed. John V. Alexander, better known as "Whiskers," acted a little suspiciously the latter part of last week and Saturday he went to the depot and bought a ticket to Waco. It is not known what his object in making the visit can be, but it is noised around that he has contracted for two positions in the Rochelle school and it is thought that he has gone after an assistant in the work. Alexander-Daniel The following clipping was printed in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. It has been learned that it was published 15 Jul 1943. At the beginning of the article there is a picture and the caption J. V. Alexander. When Ira and his younger brother were attending the Field Creek School near Llano, Alexander visited in their home several times and would sometimes spend the night there. He remembers General Eaker's father as a husky farmer who was one of the school trustees and his mother as taking a great interest in her boys' school work. "Ira couldn't help but be a big man with the parents he had," said Alexander. Although he hasn't seen General Eaker since he taught him the alphabet, Alexander has kept up with him through the newspapers, and hopes to see his pupil again some day. The following is another clipping on the above subject. The newspaper name is unknown, but it could be the Fort Worth Press. He Taught the General Alexander, now a postoffice clerk, taught General Eaker how to read and write in Field Creek School, near Llano, about 1905. There is a clipping about the education of Genral Eaker in the Llano News for 16 May 1946. It says that J. V. Alexander had been invited for "Ira Eaker Day" and should be there. That article also mentioned that he had taught General Eaker in the Field Creek community in the early 1900's. The following is a letter found among the belongings of Lenore Williams. It was written to J. V. Alexander and his wife Dolly in Fife, Texas one year after the death of their son Vance. Tulia, Texas, Jan. 23, 1912 The family Bible pages saved by Lenore Williams say that they were married June 23, 1909 at Waco, Texas. Rev J. E. Johnson, the pastor of James St. Baptist Church officiated. On the same page as the marriage record there is a typewritten note which says "Baptized into the Baptist Church at Polytechnic by Dr. G. W. Sherman, pastor, June 26, 1921. It does not state whether it was John Vance Alexander or his wife or both who were baptized then. There is a Report of Teacher's Examination for State Certificate issued June 2, 1917 to Mr. J. V. Alexander, Valley Spring Texas, Llano County. He made a score of 80, sufficient for a four year second grade certificate. There is a State Second Grade Certificate which was good until August 31, 1921. It was dated June 2, 1917. Althea Bush (his niece) tells how he gave her her first and only spanking in school. She was in the first grade. John gave her an assignment to memorize a rhyme. She said she could not even read, and this was just too much! So she walked out and went home! The next day he spanked her and stood her in the corner as punishment. There is a postcard in Dec. 1907, addressed to him in Dickens, Texas which said they had seen a notice in the paper that said he had been licensed to marry. It seems like he may have broken up with someone before he courted my grandmother. He is said to have had a cousin, Tom Alexander who married a Harlow, parents unknown. In 1907 he registered his teaching certificate in Dickens County. That is the same year that Dollie Daniel, his future wife, registered hers. They probably were there two years since there is a picture of Miss Mayfield, and she registered her certificate in the following year, 1908. He may have taught in Wichita School since there are pictures of the school, and Murchison and Counts families are in the pictures that his wife Dollie took. In World War I he registered for the draft as John Vance Alexander, residing in Mercury, McCollough, TX, age 36, born Sept. 13, 1881. He was a farmer employed by T. L. Sansom in Mercury, McCullough, Texas. He was medium height and build, blue eyes, and apparently brown hair. The date of registration was Sept. 9, 1918. In World War II he registered as John Vance Alexander, 3530 Crenshaw, Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas. His telephone number was 5-2631. He was aged 60. He was born in Robertson County, Texas on 13 Dec 1881. The person who would always know where he was was Mrs. J. F. Williams, Jr., 3530 Crenshaw, Fort Worth. His employer was H. D. Young, Postmaster, Fort Worth Post Office, Main Post Office, Lancaster & Jennings, Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas. Census: 1930 1940
