The announcement of his passing affected a large family of beloved children, and a wide circle of kinfolk for the name of Hotchkiss has been familiar in Burlingame for more than a half a century. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hotchkiss, who with their family, came here directly from Scotland in the early eighties. Here he grew to manhood and became one of Burlingame's highly respected citizens. Alexander Hotchkiss was born in Carronshore, Scotland on July 28, 1869, making him 67 years and nearly 10 months old at the time of his death last Wednesday evening, May 12. He came to this country and to Burlingame when a lad of 15 and this had been his home ever since. On April 15, 1895, he married Jean Hislop who had come here with her parents from Scotland in 1888. To his union seven children were born, all of whom together with the wife two brothers and three sisters survive him and all were present at the funeral services. The children are Mrs. Victor Mussatto, Mrs. Harold Stoddard, Mrs. Thos. Black, Jr., Edward and Alexander Hotchkiss, all of Burlingame, Mrs. Orville Earhart of Osage City and Mrs. Dale Berger of Centralia, Illinois. The sisters are Mrs. Rebecca Foster of Burlingame, Mrs. Joe Sharp of Pittsburg and Mrs. Mary Washington of Kansas City, MO. The brothers are Edward and James Hotchkiss both of Burlingame. In addition, there are 9 grandchildren and a host of many relatives and many friends. Characteristic of those who came from the land of the heather, Mr. Hotchkiss was a man who loved life and enjoyed each day to its fullest extent. Industrious, kindly, jovial and even tempered, his family was his greatest pride and joy and at no time did he deny them anything within his means to provide. Of late years, nothing gave him greater pleasure than the frequent visits of children, relatives and friends. Further insight as to his kindness and benevolence revealed in the fact that shortly after his marriage, be threw open his home to five orphaned brothers and sisters of his wife who received the same loving care as his own. Beginning when a boy, coal mining had been his occupation throughout life, the strenuousness of which probably contributed to the lung and heart ailment which had become more acute within recent weeks. He had felt better than usual last Wednesday, however, and with is wife and oldest son, Edward, was sitting on the back porch at the home south of town, enjoying the beauty of a moonlit spring evening, when death came suddenly and without warning shortly after 9 o'clock. Funeral services were in charge of C. L. Carey and were held at the Presbyterian church on Friday, May 14, at 2:30 p.m., the pastor, Rev. E. C. Wolters conducting the services. Music was furnished by Fred Cones and Harry Harkness. At the conclusion of the services, Mrs. W. G. Beale, who presided at the organ, played a collection of familiar Scottish songs for one who loved and sang the songs of his nativity. The services were very largely attended, attesting the love and respect which he was held by kinsman and townspeople alike.
