Alex L. "A.L." Alexander

On Saturday morning February 12, 2005, at about 3:00 a.m. a bright light was extinguished.
Mr. Alex Lawrence Alexander, Sr. went home with his father. Deacon Alexander was born in Morrilton, Arkansas on January 13, 1913 to Thomas and Alice Alexander. Deacon Alexander joined Union Baptist Church and was baptized thirty two years ago and was devoted and took part in many offices, as a faithful servant. He knew how to follow; and one day surpass him. Alex was a union member of the Operating Engineers and path maker building highways all over Oklahoma and the U.S. He was elected Councilman of the City of Wagoner and held the position for 17 years. He also held the post of Vice-Mayor of Wagoner. Brother Alexander was also quietly known to be a Mason.

Today we say �Go in peace with God� to a person who never said no to anyone who asked for help. He continued to grow and learn. His Father, Mother, two Daughters, three Brothers and one Sister preceded him in death.
