The inscription of Alexander's gravestone below came from the book 'Cemetery records of Brown County, Illinois', which is available on FamilySearch. It appears on page 129 of Volume 3, or image 803 of 1113.

When I took over management of this memorial the the birth date was 5 Dec 1818, which does not match the transcription in the book. I have found a few transcription errors in this book, so it may be that the book is incorrect. I cannot say what the original source was for this 5 Dec 1818 date.
