A fourth-generation Houstonian and member of one of Texas' pioneering families, she was born the 26th of April 1921 to Maude Taylor Robbins and Dr. E. Freeman Robbins. After attending San Jacinto High School for two years, she became a member of the first graduating class of the Mirabeau B. Lamar High School in 1938. She attended Sweet Briar College in Virginia before graduating with a BS in mathematics in 1942 from the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Following graduation from the University of Texas she married Walter Alvis Parish, Jr. on the 23rd of October 1942. Although they lived in various cities during the war because of Mr. Parish's top-secret duties as an Army officer assigned to Gen. Leslie Groves on the Manhattan Project, both of their daughters, Robbin and Betsy Parish, were born in Houston. Mr. Parish died suddenly and unexpectedly on the first of October 1948. Three years later she met and married fellow Houstonian Hugh Garrett Alexander, Jr. on the 21st of November 1951 and they had a son, Ford Alexander. After a lengthy illness, Mr. Alexander died on the 22nd of October 1986. Preceded in death by her parents, both husbands, her sister, Ellen Robbins Red, and her daughter, Marion Robbins Parish, Marion Alexander is survived by her daughter Elizabeth Ellen Parish, her sons, Ford Alexander and Hugh G. Alexander III and wife Carolyn, her grandchildren Taylor Alexander and John Alexander, her brother Dr. Horace Taylor Robbins, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She was a member of the Junior League of Houston and the Houston Country Club. A former avid golfer, she remained a true aficionado of the sport, always enthusiastically cheering the accomplishments of Phil Mickelson in the PGA. Her attention also was captivated by team sports, particularly football, in which she was a die-hard University of Texas fan and a newly converted follower of the Houston Texans. She was also an enthusiastic supporter of The Parish School, founded by her late daughter Robbin Parish. Since its beginning, the non-profit facility devoted to children with communication and learning differences has flourished, receiving national recognition for its unique accomplishments. Committed to the goal of perpetuating the legacy instilled by her daughter, she was particularly proud of the school's celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. A prolific reader, she read several books a week, several major news publications daily, and was always among the first to read the latest People magazine weekly. Her varied interests and outgoing personality made her a fascinating conversationalist, always interested in learning something new, a penchant that made her even more interesting to others. She not only made friends quickly, she maintained those friendships for decades. For all who knew and loved Marion Robbins Alexander, whether through a brief or lengthy encounter, the joy of her presence will be sorely missed. The family wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to Marina Diaz for her ceaseless devotion and loving care. A memorial service, in celebration of the very full life of Marion Robbins Alexander, is to be conducted at two o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday, the 6th of February, at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, 717 Sage Road in Houston.

| 4545 | from "The Hoxie Sentinel", 17 Sep 1896 (posted by Karen de Sanno on findagrave.com) NINETY YEARS OLD On Saturday, August 15, 1896, a number of invited guests assembled at the home of his youngest son, W.P. Woods, to celebrate the 90th birthday anniversary of William J. Woods. Among those present: Mr. & Mrs. J.W. Toothacre, Mr. & Mrs. O. Hasen, Mr. & Mrs. J.S. Conard, Mr. & Mrs. Linias Fogle and family and Mrs. S.A. Pratt. After dinner congratulatory letters were read from James S. Peairs, of Shenandoah, Iowa, who said that he was 83 years old and that he and Mr. Woods were the only living members of their families of 18 persons. The Pierce branch of the family are still living on the old farm in Pennsylvania, which has been in possession of the same family without a break for 132 years. It was purchased from the Indians on a Tommyhawk right in 1776, the amount paid was leather for a pair of moccasins, by Elisha and Joseph Peairs. J.S. Peairs has the first deed in his possession which was all written in old style copper plate hand. The name is spelled Peairs there, although it is called Pierce now. Mr. Woods was born on that farm at Round Hill Church and learned to walk at Fort DeQuesne, now Pittsburg, where they had fled from an Indian scare. A Presbyterian church was built on the land, has been rebuilt twice, first of logs, then frame and now brick. Mr. Woods has been active in public life. He published the Galesburg Free Democrat at Galesburg, ILL., before the war and spent his money and time for the emancipation of the Negro. He helped build Amity College at College Springs, Iowa, and was a trustee of that institution for 10 years. He has voted the Republican ticket for 40 years and sees no reason why he should change now. Of course, he is for McKinley and Hobart, wound money, protection and prosperity. from "The Hoxie Sentinel" 1 Oct 1896 (posted on findagrave.com) A mistake in the Sentinel of September 17, in an article headed "Ninety Years Old."
