=====
He attended the University of Edinburgh.
He also attended Heidelburg University but was given a degree because he knew more than the Professors.
-----
After Laura's death Alexander remarried a Jewish woman (Hettie Cawan), who owned the New Orleans Paper, about 1897. I think they had 2 more girls, Virginia and Margie. Hattie died in 1926. Alexander went to England and brought back another wife (Jean) sometime around 1933. Jean died shortly afterward from an Aneurism. I think the first 3 children were born outside of London, but at sometime the family moved to America and eventually settled in Detroit, Michigan. I also was told that Alexander had 10 brothers and sisters.

He invented Ethyl Gasoline and it was named after his daughter Ruby Ethyl.
