In 1837 he wedded Damaris Thompson, in Guernsey Country, Ohio, to which place he had previously removed, and four years later the young couple removed to Henry Country, Iowa, where Mr. Alden died in 1850, at the age of thirty-eight, being the youngest member of the family to ever pass away. Oncoming to this county, for a time he combined farming with this trade of stone-cutter, but in consequence of ill-health could not follow the plow, and therefore gave his attention solely to his trade. He dressed the first marble in Henry County and put the first lettering on tombstones. He was a man of excellent character, and was respected by all who knew him. His widow is till living, and makes her home with her daughter. Of their six children, but two are now living: Mrs. Abraham and John B. Alden, the well-known book publisher of New York City. The latter, though yet comparatively a young man, has made his name a household word, his catalogue of publications comprising the best standard works, and all sold at a price bringing them within the reach of the very poorest.
