Confederate Soldiers Interred in Maplewood Cemetery, transcribed from Daily Progress (Charlottesville, VA), July 1, 1902, p.1 by Jean Cooper, Central Virginia Genealogical Association.

W. W. Alexander, was educated at Colonel Strange's Military Academy in Charlottesville. He had just entered business as a druggist with his shop "across from the Post Office at the University," when the war began, but he volunteered at once and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant. He was killed in the last battle of the Confederacy. The male line of the family thus became extinct, but through the marriage of the daughters a number of descendants survive.
