M. 79yrs [parents] David Stephen [unknown profession] & Janet Stephen MN Hepburn, deceased [informant] Jessie H Stephen, daughter. occupier, present... Alexander's occupation is reported as "soldier" on his daughter, Jessie's death certificate, in 1923. However the informant is a "...cousin" by the name of Dorothy Medville[?] The lack of an occupation onAlexander's death certificate is unfortunate as it could have been enlightening. We have 2 decades where Alexander is not yet found, followed by an internment in the Montrose Insane Asylum, followed by his being retired with enough money to be "Living on Private Means". Very odd for a man who appears to have been in an insane asylum. Could Alexander have been away soldiering? The insane asylum entry and his daughter's death certificate give indications in that direction. In which case how did he make enough money to retire "Living on Private Means"?
