Obituary, believed to have been written by Sallie's daughter Maggie L. Alexander:
"SARAH A.M. ALEXANDER - Was born February 16, 1840 and died December 15, 1917. She was married to Mr. J.W. Alexander February 1, 1866. In early life she united with the Methodist Church at Philadelphia, where she held her membership until after her marriage. She remained a faithful member of the Methodist Church until after her death.
In earlier life, she was identified with the Sunday School at Newman Swamp as teacher. In her later years, she was a member of the Missionary Society at Pine Grove for several years, acting as treasurer and did what she could to make the work a success. Though she was in failing health several months, yet she seldom missed a service from church. She leaves a husband and six children.
One brother, C.W. Stewart and one sister, Mrs. J.P. Mozingo, are still living.
She realized fully that she was nearing the end of her days. She was seriously ill only a few days.
She expressed herself as ready to go when the call should come."
She and her husband had another daughter, Ella L. Alexander Hatchell, not listed, who died in the early 1900s at age 33. Although it is theorized that she was buried in Sallie and John's "Lone Tree Farm" family cemetery, not too far from Pine Grove, it has not been proven that she is buried there. There has been a lot of destruction there over the years.
