The Georgia Enterprise June 8, 1883
Death of Doctor Means
     The death of this eminent Divine and venerable Christian gentleman will be 
received with profound sorrow by the thousands who knew and loved him. After a 
long and painful illness he breathed his last at his home in Oxford, on 
Tuesday, June 5th, aged about 83 years.
     To pay an appropriate tribute to such a man would require a pen worthier 
than the one we control. His noble deeds and spotless character is engraved 
deep in the hearts of his countrymen, and no time, no place or circumstance can 
ever force them, for a moment, to forget or cease to honor his spotless memory. 
He died as he had ever lived, in the fond assurance of a blessed immortality 
and a home eternal beyond the grave. Idle words faintly express the silent 
grief we feel at the loss of our honored friend and valued citizen. Peace be to 
the last resting place of DOCTOR ALEXANDER MEANS, for truly, he was as good as 
he was great.
