While it had not been positively determined that Franz Alexander "Alex" was buried in Academy Cemetery, it is reasonable to assume this due to the closeness of his death to his wife (Alice) and her internment in the Academy Cemetery. Due to their apparent economic situation neither grave appears to be marked.
