In the death of Alexander W. Macklin, of Frankfort, Ky., on October 12, 1922, at Louisville, Ky., the Kentucky Confederate Home lost a devoted friend, its executive committee its chief officer, and the Confederates at large a loyal comrade. He was born at Frankfort, Ky., in 1844; enlisted in the Confederate army in 1862; was a member of Company C, 9th Kentucky Cavalry (Breckinridge's regiment, Morgan's brigade), and served to the end of hostilities. His services as a soldier were in line with his later life as a citizen, being at all times true to his convictions and devoted to his cause and his friends. (J. E. Abraham.)
