Sudden Death of A. W. Graves at Lockland
The community was shocked as the news spread yesterday afternoon that A. W. Graves had dropped dead very suddenly. It was ascertained upon inquiry that he had for a day or two been complaining of a pain in his left side and arm, but nothing strange was thought of this as he has frequently been troubled in the same manner and has been easily relieved. Yesterday he had spent the most of the day in his front room upstairs, and his wife thinking that possibly he might feel better if he were to go down stairs awhile, about 4 o'clock he decided to go down. Reaching the lower floor he had taken but about two steps when he fell. Mrs. Graves ran to the front door and called in Wm. Brown and two other gentlemen who were standing near. Mr. Graves recognized them when they entered. They removed him to a bed, and by the time they had removed his boots to allow them to rub his feet, he had expired. Mr. Graves was one of the oldest residents of Lockland, and was sixty-five years of age and the citizens are unanimous that they have been bereft of one of their best townsmen, and all deeply sympathize with the grief stricken widow and family.
The deceased was a half brother of the late Rev. Benjamin Graves, who organized the Reading Presbyterian Church, from which has grown two large and very influential congregations—Lockland and Wyoming. He was a member of the Seventy fifth O V. I., and served his country to the close of the late war, and until his death he was a prominent member of the Robert H. McCook Post, G. A. R. He was Postmaster at Lockland during the two years preceding the present Administration, and his term was one of universal satisfaction. The time of the funeral can not be named until the relatives who reside in the West can be heard from. Mrs. J. M. Ryan, a daughter residing at Terre Haute, Ind., telegraphed that she will arrive this morning.
