The sudden death of DIR. J. M. Grafton
last Thursday, was an unexpected shock
to our community. 1t was II melancholy,
though nevertheless sweet coincidence OF
his death that it should have come at q
time when the synod of his church. which
he dearly loved, was in session here; that
his old pastor, Rev. w. b. Bingham, and
his old Confederate army chaplain, DR..
lhOS. Il. Markham, should have been
here to jointly conduct the funeral serv-
lees, and that two or three old school
mates and friends of his young manhood,
besides several dear relatives and brcth-
rem of the Presbyterian church with
whom he had been intimately associated
at different times in his Masters work,
should have all met here-though for an
other ohjcct-just in time to unite in the
last sad rites. An appropriate tribute to
the lamcntcd dead, from the pen of Mr..
Bingham, will be found in today's paper.
