Alex Fyffe
Alex Fyffe was born April 3, 1864 in Tyrone county, Ireland. He passed away at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Van Hovel, at Campbell, Minn. on Sunday Dec. 9 at the age of 87 years, 8 months and 6 days.
He died after a short illness, having been confined to his bed since Thanksgiving day. Death was attributed to complications of old age.
