Notes
a. Note:   N4531 Selma Morning Reporter (Selma, Alabama), 30 May 1864
  Died at his residence near Plantersville, Alabama on the 18th of April 1864, Alexander Meriwether in the 73rd year of his age, after a painful illness of five days.
  We are seldom called on to mourn the loss of one that was more beloved than this aged one, yet we know our loss is his eternal gain, or we feel assured he is now with his redeemer.
  His sudden departure teaches us to be also ready, for in such an hour as we know not the Son of Man cometh. He has been a consistent member of the Baptist Church for forty three years; he has always lived the life of a Christian; has been a kind husband, affectionate father, and good neighbor. He leaves two children and several grandchildren to mourn their irreparable loss. Grief in its darkest and most appalling form hovers over them, for scarce has two months passed since they had to give up their dear mother and grandmother. God help them to bear their bereavement with Christian fortitude, and comfort them with the thought that none were better and few, very few, as good.
  The deceased was a native of Georgia; moved to the state in 1860, having one child living here and wishing to have them together in his old age. He was called upon to give up his only son at Vicksburg, from which shock he never entirely recovered, and when his wife, with whom he had traveled life's troubled path for fifty-three years was taken, it was more than his feeble body and mind could endure, but their separation was but for a short time. They are now happily united in that world where parting is no more.
