Alexander Schreiner

Alexander Schreiner is my great-great uncle, and as a musician I have always been intrigued by his life, and fond of my relation to this great man.  Much has been written about him, and this post only a reference for some of them.

http://alexanderschreiner.blogspot.com has quotes and pages, and was presumably created by his family.

ldschurchnews has an article with pictures written on his 100th birthday about a celebration held in his honor.  The picture on this page came from this article.

The wikipedia article for Alexander_Schreiner is a great reference of his many different works, although it does not include all or even most of them.

A prized but rare book in my collection is a book written by him, "Alexander Schreiner Reminisces".  This 179-page book includes many pictures of interest to our family history.  My grandfather has a copy of this book, and many libraries have a copy in their reference section.  It took me more than two years of checking online and at used bookstores before I finally snatched it up for $35 with shipping.  This book has many wonderful insights into his life.
