The article was written by his daughter Carrie Arbuckle Alexander Terrill. Samuel Alexander was an early settler to Grant County in the early cowboy and cattle days. He drove herds of cattle up from Texas to Dodge City and later to the rail head in Coolidge. Several times he drove cattle through Grant County and decided to settle there. He received title to the land, a 160-acre homestead and 160 acre tree claim located seven miles south of the present Ulysses, on 12 August 1886. He built a sod house and dug a well and in 1887 married Nancy Hite in Walnut, Crawford County, Kansas and brought her to the homestead. All their children, except the eldest daughter were born on the homestead. Their first children born in Grant County were twin sons who lived only four days. Samuel Alexander was an active citizen. Only a few years after receiving title to his land, he was elected to represent the county in the state legislature. During his term there he was instrumental in getting a county high school law passed for the counties of southwest Kansas that did not have high schools. He was also Register of Deeds for the county for two years. When the family moved to Ulysses in 1906 they managed the hotel for a number of years.
