Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, May 24, 1906
Mr. Alex Broadway
  A telegram was received in Selma yesterday announcing the death of 
Mr. Alex Broadway at his home in Pine Apple. He was marshall of that 
town at the time of death and died of heart failure. He was a gallant 
Confederate soldier and lived in this city for many years. He was on 
the police in Selma at one time, and had a great many friends in this 
city who will regret to hear of his death. His remains reached the city 
from Pine Apple last night on the Pensacola train and will be interred 
in this city today. - Selma Times of 17th.

  The remains of Mr. Alex Broadway were interred in the cemetery in 
this city yesterday morning. He requested his wife to have him buried 
at the base of the Confederate Monument in case that he died first, and 
in compliance with his wish he was buried in the Confederate lot, 
along-side of the other gallant heroes that have gone before him to 
"rest under the shadow of the trees." - Selma Times of 18th.
