ALEXANDER BUCHANAN was probably a native of Pennsylvania.  He served as 
an officer in the American Army, during the Revolutionary War.  At the 
close of the war, he emigrated to Woodford county, Kentucky.  He labored 
with the pioneer preachers of that region, a few years, after which he 
moved to Ohio, and settled on Vermilion river.  Here he died, much 
respected, about 1827.
	He is said to have been a preacher of great usefulness.  He loved 
the gospel, and often expressed an ardent desire to preach as long as he 
lived.  The last evening that he remained on earth, he held worship with 
his family and, among other blessings, he asked the Lord, with great 
earnestness, that he might be able to speak, as long as he lived on 
earth.  That night, he ate supper, and went to bed, in usual health.  
Before the morning light returned, while he slept sweetly and peacefully 
by the side of the wife of his youth, his spirit passed away so quietly 
that she knew nothing of his departure, till he had already crossed "the 
River."
