From the Colfax County (Nebraska) Press; April 6, 1922, reprinted June 12, 1991:
"Dr. Carl Joseph Alger, aged 65, died in Winner, S. D. on March 17, 1922.
Carl Joseph Alger was born Febr. 22, 1857 in Leer, Ostfriesland, Germany, graduating from the University of Berlin with the degrees of Ph. D. and M. A. and two years of surgery and medicine. He left the army as a first lieutenant of calvary and came to the United States when 29 years of age.
He contracted tuberculosis and spent a great many years in the mountains, overcame the disease, and finished his course in medicine and surgery in the University of Colorado at Boulder in June, 1893.
On Sept. 2, 1893, Dr. Alger was united in marriage to Jessie Gertrude Litsey in Denver, and to this union were born three children, Clements, Lois and Carl. He also leaves two grandchildren, Christine Marie and Leonard Warren Alger; two sisters in Germany and one in Florida.
After practicing medicine for a time in Denver, Dr. Alger then settled in Nebraska, practicing in Columbus, Leigh, Howells and Pilger. He quit the practice of medicine March 1, 1921, and moved to the homestead in Tripp county, South Dakota, where he spent the few remaining days of his life. He caught a bad cold and took to his bed in January, from which he never rose. Complications set in and finally the resistance of the weakened system gave way and he died in Winner, S.D. at 3:45 Friday afternoon, March 17, 1922.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Rew Walz, were held at the home near Ideal Monday afternoon, and interment was made in the Winner cemetery."
