Alexander F. Luckie erected, first a log house, and later a two-story frame residence, on the west side of Peachtree Street (then road), at the present site of the Doctor's Building parking lot. His primary occupation was that of a farmer. He was an organizer, in 1847, of Atlanta's first Sunday school, know as the Atlanta Union Sabbath School, and beginning the following year, served as one of the first ruling elders of the Atlanta (later First) Presbyterian church. Upon his death at the age of 56, Mr. Luckie was buried in his family cemetery on the present site of the Crawford W. Long Memorial Hospital. Growth of the city necessitated the removal of this cemetery about 1885, and the bodies were removed to Oakland. Here Alexander F. Luckie, pioneer citizen, rests in an unmarked grave, with Luckie Street beginning in downtown Atlanta as a tangible memorial to his memory.
