Alexander Baxter was born in Dundee, Scotland, July 6, 1832: He came to the United States, and after reaching
his majority he settled in Le Roy. He worked for 21 years for Mrs. Lent (now Mrs. Bissell) as a florist, and at
the same time managed a garden of his own for 28 years. He died in November, 1882. He married Mary, daughter of
Patrick and Ellen (Donavan) Elwood, who came from County Tipperary, Ireland, in November, 1847, and settled in
Batavia. His children were John, who enlisted in the army from Michigan and died in Minnesota, from the effects
of two wounds received in the war, and William, who served in the 6th U. S. Cav., and was killed at Brandy Station.
Mr. and Mrs. Elwood died in Batavia. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter had nine children, viz.: Ellen (Mrs. Blair), George (deceased),
Jennie (Mrs. Rogers), William, John (deceased), Mary, Maggie, Annie, and Robert. Mrs. A. Baxter has a beautiful
house in Le Roy, and deals in all kinds of flowers.
