Charley Alexander was my grandfather.We have spent some time in Dawson Springs with a lady by the name of Beulah Stills.Address is 144 Hosick Ave., Dawson Springs, KY.42408Phone number is 502-797-5657.She will be 87, I think on her birthday in September, but her mind is clear as a bell.They have a graveyard cleaning the 3rd Friday of August, where a lot of our family attends.We met several members of our family then.They also have an Alexander reunion in September, but we didn't get to attend.Gladys Mae (Aunt Sis) died several years ago.She has several children.Her daughter or granddaughter did a lot of the history.Her name is Phyllis and she lives down around Evansville, In., but not sure where.The graveyard cleaning, is at thePiney Grove Cemetary. The reunion was at thePennyrile Park just outside of Dawson.Aunt Sis has a son by the name of Earl Edward, and the way I understand it, he has some of the information which she had.His address is 303 W Maple St., Shelburn, IN47879.Anyway, he can tell you quite a bit.My grandfather was Charley and my grandmother was Eva (great grandparents).My grandmother was Elizabeth.She married Harold Ridge, which is my grandparents.My Mother is Opal Mae Ridge Hoesman.She had one brother Jackie Bob Ridge.He lived in LaPorte, IN, but passed away about two years ago.My mother had 9 children.He had 4.I hope this helps a little bit.I don't know where you are from, but if you get a chance to go to Ky for either the reunion or the graveyard cleaning, I guarentee you will enjoy it. I will be glad to correspond with you what little I know.I have a lot of things written down, but a long way from figuring it all out.
