• Notes

  [gurley.FTW] Alixe attended Decatur college in Alabama, and after her marriage lived in Waco. In 1920, she divorced her husband and with her son, Tom, resided with her widowed mother, Mrs. Emma Whitman. Alixe then entered the business world and became the first female employee of citizens National Bank. she was made custodian of the safety deposit vault, a position she held for 27 years. during her career, she was active in the Business and Professional Women's club, and served two terms as its President. She was so well known and liked, that when she retired from the bank in 1947, her picture and biography appeared on the front page of the Waco New-Tribune. she moved to McAllen, Texas to live near her son, and died there in 1972, at age 91.
