Excerpt from Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, and History of Piatt County, Vol. 2 Starne, Alexander, Secretary of State and State Treasurer, was born in Philadelphia. Pa., Nov. 21, 1813;'in the spring of 1836 removed to Illinois, settling at Griggsville, Pike County, where he opened a general store. From 1839 to '42 he served as Commissioner of Pike County, and, in'the latter year, was elected to the lower house of the General Assembly, and re-elected in 1844. Having, in the meanwhile, disposed of his store at Griggsville and removed to Pittsfield, he was appointed, by Judge Purple, Clerk of the Circuit Court, and elected to the same office for four years, when it was made elective. In 1852 he was elected Secretary of State, when he removed to Springfield, returning to Griggsville at the expiration of his term in 1857, to assume the Presidency of the old Hannibal and Naples Railroad (now a part of the Wabash system). He represented Pike and Brown Counties in the Constitutional Convention of 1862, and the same year was elected State Treasurer. He thereupon again removed to Springfield, where he resided until his death, being, with his sons, extensively engaged in coal mining. In 1870, and again in 1872, he was elected State Senator from San gamon County. He died at Springfield, March 31, 1886.

Excerpt from Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois: And History of Schuyler County Mayor, in opposition to Carter H. Harrison, in 1885, and is believed by many to have been honestly elected, though defeated on the face of the returns. A recount was ordered by the court, but so much delay was incurred and so many obstacles placed in the way of carrying the order into effect, that Judge Smith abandoned the con test in disgust, although making material gains as far as it had gone. During his professional career he was connected as counsel. With some of the most important trials before the Chicago courts; was also one of the Directors of the Chi cago Public Library, on its organization in 1871. Died suddenly, in Chicago, Oct. 6. 1898.
