Another obituary for Alexander, paper unknown.

Alexander A. Fawcett was born May 16, 1829, and died in Carroll county, Ohio, April 8, 1905. The grip of his great warm hand and the cheer of his genial presence can never be forgotten by those who have felt the one or enjoyed the other. He helped one to believe in God and hope better things for men. His principles and habits were well known, and there was no "guessing" where he would be found or what he would do. He was a Methodist, but not a bigot. He gave a God-speed to all the churches, but devoted himself to his own with an intelligent interest in all her work. His unusually large gift made possible the erection of the new church at Kilgore when it was urgently needed. His home near Kilgore was a veritable "House Beautiful" to Methodist preachers even the preacher's horse always wanted to turn in there. He was married to Ellen Knean, who, in feeble health but with cheerful hope, survives him. Four children also live to cherish the memory of a noble father. The funeral was held in the church at Kilgore, under the direction of his pastor, the Rev. J. O. Davidson, assisted by the Rev. T. I. McRae and the writer.
