Alexander, William G.

William Gideon (W. G.) Alexander was one half of the partnership of Alexander and Marsh, along with John Marsh. The partners are credited with building a "two-story tenement" in 1877, on the corner of today's Chestnut and Church streets. The building was later moved to 301 Elm Street, where it remains today.

A possible son, William H. Alexander (1879-1937), "son of William And Elizabeth", is buried at Oakwood.
