DR.. Aaron McGraw brea,hed his last
few minutes before eleven o'clock last
night. The end was not unexpected, as
the we'll known physician had been con-
fined to his bed for many weeks and his
advanced age and weakened physical
condition rendered recovery quite
improbable. Nevertheless there was a
feeling Of genuine regret among all
circles. DR.. McGraw was widely known
as a practitioner, more widely five years
ago than to the newer population. For
some years advancing age and inhrmities
have told upon once robust con stitution
and his friends have regretfully noted
physical decacvnce.
DR.. McGraw's third wife survives blm,
a patient. devoted, loving woman who
brought TO his latest years the only
domestic concord he had experienced
for decade. By his second wife he
had son, Paul. who died when four or
five years Of age and here. beside him, in
Boulder cemetery. the rough but tender.
hearted and generous doctor will lie.
The funeral will consist of a prayer by
Rev. DR.. Hornbeck at the residence,
corner Of 18th and Walnut streets, at 2

Probably, within the twenty years
which span the period of his residence
here, no physician has administered to
more patients than DR.. MeGraw. He
was generally successful in his practice,
bringing to the aid of extended expert
ence in hospital service in the civil war
and all branches of practice, an unfailing
common sense. keen prognosis and sin
cere, unvarying devotion to the health OF
nj clients.
Dr McGraw had his faults, but his
virtues were many and vastly prepond.

open purse for the poor and readiness
to re nder his valuable services gratis to
those who could not afford them.
