Mrs. Alex Caldwell.
The Tennessean (Nashville, Tennessee), 27 June 1933, Tuesday
Mrs. Alex S. Caldwell, whose death occurred Sunday, was one of the state's most gifted women and one who had made use of her gifts to benefit her community.
Born into a socially prominent family, Mrs. Caldwell chose a life of service to the life of ease which is the traditional choice of the society woman.
So successful was she in the various lines of social welfare, literary and patriotic work, she was recognized as a national leader among club women and President Wilson chose her as a member of the club federation's group to cooperate with him in national defense during the World War.
More recently, recognition of her outstanding work was given by the Tennessee Federation of Women's Clubs, which placed a bronze tablet of testimonial on the hospital of the Girls' Vocational School at Tullahoma, which had been her especial charge.
After year of devoted occupation in the interest cf the girls of this home, Mrs. Caldwell six years ago was chosen superintendent of it. It was a matter of great interest and pride to her friends that the new state administration had found her work so satisfactory that it reappointed her, and she was able to continue actively, until she was stricken with the illness which resulted in her death, the work which was so dear to her heart and which she performed with such vision and humanity.
Though the home at Tullahoma claimed the major part of her time and energy during the last years of her life, she had been outstanding in many lines of endeavor. As a mother and grandmother, she was wise and tender and loving. She had attained high places in the councils of such organization as the Ladies' Hermitage Association, the Polk Memorial Association, the Tennessee Press and Authors' Club, the National council of Defense, the Review Club and the Tennessee Conference of Social Workers, in addition to the federation. She was interested in the fight on illiteracy, the garden movement and other phases of social welfare work. Sh also found time to cultivate a wide circle of friendships both inside and outside the areas into which these activities led her.
Throughout her many years of public contact, Mrs. Caldwell retained the fine qualities of a gentlewoman which were her heritage. She leaves the world better for her having lived in tt, and she leave many lives happier because of contact with her.
