Alexander Stephens Clay was born in Powder Springs, GA on on September 25th, 1853. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in
1896 and served until his death on November 13, 1910. He was the chairman of two interesting committees: Committee on Revolutionary Claims (Fifty-ninth Congress) ; Committee on Woman Suffrage (Sixty-first Congress). He is buried in the Marietta City Cemetery in Marietta, Georgia.
