Notes
Note 1
Obituary: GAMBLE, Alex G. - Alex G. Gamble was born in Meigs, afterward Ray county, Tenn., Dec. 8th, 1819.
He came to this country in 1840 with his step father, Jerry Bowling, and settled near White Rock Prairie, Mo. November 1842; he was married to Nancy M. Woods. To them were born eleven children, six of whom, one daughter and five sons - are living, and five of whom - two sons and three daughters - are dead. Sept. 1883 Mrs. Gamble, the devoted Christian wife and mother, also died.
At a camp meeting on Pea Ridge, known as Sugar Creek Camp Ground, he professed faith in Christ as his personal Savior and soon after joined the Sugar Creek (now Mt. Vernon) congregation of the C.P. Church. Sept. 18, 1846 he was elected and ordained a Ruling Elder of Sugar Creek congregation. Some years after this he moved within the bounds of Osage Prairie (now Bentonville) congregation of the C.P. Church and was elected a Ruling Elder in the congregation, there remaining and laboring in his earnest, quiet and faithful way until about thirteen years ago when he again moved within the bounds of Mt. Vernon congregation and was again elected as a Ruling Elder of that congregation, which office he held and faithfully performed the duties thereof until affliction and death removed him from his labors on earth to his reward in heaven.
April 1895 he was married to Mrs. Artie Hardy. This relation was a happy one and to him especially most blessed. For four long years, the last of his life, he was a great sufferer and physically helpless; yet during all of these trying years, in the tenderest love and with unremitting care, the devoted wife and her noble sons watched over and provided for him in a manner commanding the admiration of the whole community. Sept. 1881 he was elected to the office of Assessor of Benton county and again in 1883. Brother Gamble was a quiet and meek man. Every day, everywhere, he was the same true, honest, untiring, unyielding advocate of the good and defender of the right. He leaves a devoted companion, five honored and respected sons, a most amiable and loving Christian daughter and a great host of kindred and friends to mourn their loss. P. Carnahan, Pastor. [Benton County Democrat 10/13/98]
