Occurred in This Country in
Early Thirties.

Mr.. James Alexander, of Pine Bluff,

lust prior to his tragic death at the
Alamo. he was entertained at the Alex
ander home. The old homestead was
situated on the Memphis and Somer-
Vile road. 1t was associated with
many prominent events which tend to
make interesting the early existence

historic value was destroyed by fire.
