In many respects Robert J. Alderman was a reproduction of his father, showing the same business capacity and keen insight into men and affairs. On graduating from Furman University, his father called him to share in the responsibilities of a great and heavy business at Alcolu, S. C., where he had acquired a vast territory of heavily timbered land, enough to supply their great lumber mills for many years. They had their own railroads and equipment for moving the timber and lumber. The town of Alcolu, which David Wells established and named, was exclusively the property of the Alderman Lumber Company. They had their own handsome church building, hotel, school building, and other necessities for a well appointed community town. On the death of his father, Robert and his brother, Paul, assumed charge of the business and continued to operate it with the same vigor as before.
Robert married Mallie E., a native of Anderson County and a daughter of Solomon Geer, a well known scholar and manufacturer of Belton, S. C. Mallie was educated at the Greenville Woman's College. She possessed those rare gifts and graces that well fit one for presiding over such a happy family as theirs. They made their home in Alcolu where they were members of the Baptist Church, but he was buried at Belton, Mallie's native town.

Robert Joseph Alderman born Sep. 30, 1874 died Dec. 21, 1932 married Dec. 21, 1904 Mallie E. Geer born Jul. 28, 1875.
