State Indiana Sentinel Newspaper, Thursday, October 7, 1852:
Colonel Alexander W. Russell, Postmaster of this city, died yesterday morning at five o'clock after an illness of eight days. He was about fifty-six years of age. Col. Russell settled in Indianapolis in 1822 where he has ever since resided. Although engaged in busy scenes of life in the discharge of the delicate and responsible duties of public office, yet he lived and died without an enemy. He was a most valuable member of society and enjoyed in a high degree the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens. He leaves a large family to mourn the loss of their stay and support, but no wife weeps at his tomb. She had gone before him to that land where the weary are at rest.
