CRAVENS, J.L. - {from The Fayetteville Daily, Friday) Col. J.L. Cravens passed away at his residence in this city at about 4:00 o'clock yesterday, January 16. On Thursday, January 9th he made a business trip to Prairie Grove and the exposure produced a nervous chill before he left the depot at that place. Another followed that night and the next day he was unable to leave his room. Pneumonia developed on Sunday and the end came as stated. Col. Cravens was about 78 years of age and had been a citizen of Fayetteville for more than 40 years. He was one of our foremost fellow citizens and was held in the highest esteem by the entire community. The remains will be interred tomorrow in Evergreen cemetery. Funeral services will be held at the residence at 10 o'clock a.m.
