Biography

Rudolph Alexander was born in 1826 in Lindow. He was the son of "Steueraufseher" Johann Samuel Körber and Henriette Windt.^[1]

Alexander was an excellent musician who had taught music by his own method at Princeton University. However, due to his fits of temper, his family was always on the move.

During their stay in Cobourg, they lived at 212 King Street West, a house which they rented from the Field family. There, Alexander was a music teacher and the organist at St. Peter's Anglican Church.
