Born on Kilgore Creek, near the town of Milton, West Virginia, a son of Lindsey Franklin Bias & Alzada Peyton. Alex chose Ona Ethel Bias to be his wife and they married on June 28, 1911 in Huntington, WV. He moved to Clifton Forge as early as 1936, with his wife and daughter Alzada, because of the job position he held with the railroad.
I knew him as Uncle "Elex", or at least that's the way I always pronounced his name. He was the stoutly, whitehair gentleman, a brother of my beloved g-grandmother Bessie E. Bias LeGrand and gg-Aunt Maude Bias Saunders. An older brother, Charles Franklin Bias, died in 1919. I never called them "greats". They were my Grandmother, my Uncle "Elec", my Aunt Maude.
Grandmother Bessie was always taking the train from Huntington to Clifton Forge for a visit with her brother, who lived on McCormick Boulevard, and sometimes one of us little "grands" got to go along. These three Bias siblings were very close and always stayed in touch with each other. I am grateful, because that is how a small, young child from West Virginia came to know of her Uncle "Elex".
