GRAHAM, S.S. – Eld. S.S. Graham died suddenly early on Thursday morning of last week at his home near Creech, northeast of Springdale. When he retired Wednesday night he complained of feeling ill but nothing serious was anticipated but when his daughter went to awaken him Thursday morning he was dead, due to heart trouble.. The remains were interred Friday afternoon in Wilson’s grave yard a few miles northeast of town, services being conducted by Eld. I.M. Phillips. Deceased was born in Southeast Missouri and when only three years of age came with his parents to this section. At the time of death he was 72 years and 6 months of age. He formerly resided near Spring Valley in this county but soon after the death of his wife some three years ago removed to the vicinity of Creech post office and his daughter, Miss Cora, has been keeping house for him. Three of his grandchildren have also been making their home with him. Mr. Graham was a member of the Baptist church and for 37 years was a preacher in that church and during his life baptized more than 1200 converts. He was moderator of the Madison County Baptist Association since its organization 19 years ago.

He was also a member of the commission which built Washington County’s new Court House. He served in the Confederate army and was on the staff of General Cooper. All of his life has been practically spent in this locality except one winter immediately after the close of the war which was spent in Texas. So far as known Mr. Graham was the last of his family, having no living relatives except his children and grandchildren. He is survived by nine children, five sons and four daughters, all of whom reside in this section, one of the son’s being T.J. Graham of Springdale. The other sons are; J.M., living near Lowell; Jno.
