Obituary – Larned Chronoscope August 26, 1887, p. 5
DIED
At her home near Antone, on the evening of the 14th inst., Morcella Faucett (sic), wife of W.S. Alexander, in the forty-fifth year of her age.
Mrs. Alexander was born in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. She moved with her mother and four children to Vanburen County, Iowa, at the age of seven. She was married to Mr. Alexander November 15, 1863. To them were born 3 noble sons, Willie, Charlie and Floyd. The second died nearly three years ago. This family moved to Pawnee County, Kansas, in the spring of '87.
Mrs. Alexander was a noble woman; a model wife and mother. She possessed the rare faculty of making all in her society happy. The falling tears at her funeral told much of the love her neighbors bore her. Her deeds of kindness, her social calls and her warm greetings, we will sadly miss, but who can conceive of the desolation of those hearts who will miss her as wife and mother.
I know not of Mrs. Alexander's religious creed, or whether she paid her devotions at the altar of any orthodox church. One thing I do know she was a Christian, if" by their fruits ye shall know them." She has done what she could nobly, heroically, and her master has only transferred her to a higher field of Labor whose reward is more ample.
It is not to die,
To leave this heavy clod
An mid the brother-hood on high,
To be at home with God.
