Additional notes on Alexander Green:
There was a trial involving charges of murder against him and his five sons: Ullysses Sherman, Ellsworth Kimball, Hollister Sheridan, Willis, and Claence. Vicky Hunt has copy of the trial notes, and a book containing newspaper accounts of the entire trial.
Per the Mirror paper of MO of 1895, he dropped dead of Dropsy in his chair in Flat River MO. (Dropsy= when the body cavities fill with fluid). (note: This info has been confirmed however, he died prior to 0/5/1895, the date of the Steelville Mirror paper issue. Have not located actual burial location.)
