Son of Frederick Amos and Sarah E. (Seekford) Alger. He married Mary Susan Higgs, daughter of John W. and Drucilla (Freeze) Higgs, on 6 Apr 1896 in Page Co, VA. Of that marriage one son, John Allen Alger, was born. Both sets of parents are clearly identified on their marriage record.
Either John W. passed away or he and Mary got divorced because Mary next marries German immigrant, Christian Switzer, around 1899-1900. After Christian's death she marries widower, Branch Lawrence Douglas, on 19 Apr 1918 in Page Co., VA, ending in divorce before 1920.
In contrast to Mary, who's entire life is an open book, absolutely no records can be found on John W. since his marriage to her.
** Though there is a familial relation, he is not the same John W. Alger who had a wife named Tishie. That John W. Alger was born 4 Jan 1874 and died 16 Feb 1945, who's parents were named as William Harden and Reffina Catherine (Pettit) Alger on his death record.
