The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, September 21, 1905 The many friends of the family were greatly shocked to learn of the sudden death of WILL GRAHAM which occurred about 6:30 o'clock this morning at the home of his parents, MR. and MRS. W.F. GRAHAM, in this city. He has been employed at Red Oak on the telegraph lines and on Monday was taken ill with an acute attack of heart trouble. Last night he was brought to his home in this city by two friends, HARRY MILLS and PETE TUTTLE, and his death occurred a few hours later. As the time of going to press, the arrangements for the funeral have not been completed. WILLIAM JOHN GRAHAM was born near Winterset on April 5, 1885, and when but an infant came to Chariton with his parents where he has since resided. He possessed an unusually pleasant disposition, was upright and energetic, and was a general favorite, beloved by all who knew him. He is survived by his parents, five sisters and two brothers who have the deepest sympathy of the community in their bereavement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CARD OF THANKS We tender our sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends who so generously assisted us and sympathized during our recent bereavement. Time alone can only lift the shadow and heal the aching heart and yet it is acts like these that console. -- W.F. GRAHAM and FAMILY. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 3, 2004 [email protected]
