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.
