Funeral services were held at Auburn, Saturday, for Rev. Alexander Wimberly, 57, retired Presbyterian minister and former resident of University Place, who died there after a prolonged illness. He was born in Mooringsport, Louisiana, May 4, 1885, the son of Rev. and Mrs. Charles P.W. and Betty (Lowry) Wimberly and was a brother of Professor Lowry C. Wimberly of the University of Nebraska. A graduate of North Platte High School, Nebraska Wesleyan University and the Presbyterian Seminary in Omaha, he taught history and Latin in Auburn High School from 1910 through 1911. Four of his students of those days were among the pall bearers: John Howe, Paul Larance, Richard Curson, and Ivan Martin.

He was married on July 8, 1911, to Florence Brittain of Auburn who had graduated that same year from Auburn High School. Shortly after the birth of her second son, she died in 1919, leaving her first son, now Rev. J.W. Wimberly of Grand Rapids. His second wife, the former Vida Leamer of Wakefield, Nebraska, survives him.

Rev. Mr. Wimberly was pastor of Fourth Presbyterian Church at University Place in 1922 and 1923 and held pastorates in Colon, Bayard, Dalton, and Madison, Nebraska, and Guthrie Center, and Manning, Iowa. Failing health forced him to retire this year, and after several months in a Lincoln hospital, he went to Auburn to the home of his first wife's sister, Miss Theoda Brittain.

Others surviving him include a sister, Mrs. George Tucker of Greeley, Colorado; four brothers, Dr. Lowry C. Wimberly of Lincoln, Rev. W.A. DuBose of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, Rev. Hal Wimberly of Brookville, Indiana, and Rev. Ware Wimberly of Wabash, Indiana.

A fifth brother, Rev. Merritt Wimberly, died two years ago in Lincoln and a sister, Louyse, in Genoa.

Other survivors are Marjorie Lu, daughter of Rev. J.W. Wimberly, and an aunt, Mrs. Lucy Getty of North Platte.
