Alexander Gardiner Mercer, D.D. (1817-1882), b. Philadelphia, Pa.; d. Newport, Rhode Island. Mercer was educated at the College of New Jersey (1837) & at the Princeton Theological Seminary before becoming an Episcopal clergyman (1846). He was the rector of several churches as well as professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy in the University of Pennsylvania.
"Dr. Mercer was a man of cultivated mind and great purity of character. He was naturally of a reserved, and retiring disposition, shrinking from contact with the world. In the society of his friends he was gentle and affectionate and full of sympathy." - Necrological Reports and Annual Proceedings of the Alumni Association of Princeton Theological Seminary, Vol. I. (1891) p. 480.
