DEATH:

The following is from http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com db: tombutt1944. Hiram Gragg was born about 1800 and may be a brother of the deceased.

Gragg, Washington R.; b 22 Nov 06, Pulaski Co., KY; d 28 Jun 47, at his res, Pulaski Co., KY; parents: Gragg, John & Elizabeth A.B.; mar (2) But, Delila; she d (10 days after husband, see obit.) Issue: 7 little chn survive; First wife and two infant children died. Signed, Hiram Gragg. [14-68; 6 Aug 47]

June 28 - Of pulmonary consumption, Washington R. Gragg, son of John and Elizabeth A.B. Gragg, at his residence in Pulaski County, Ky., in which he was born November 22, 1806, and born of the spirit 1827.

He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, remaining a firm member until his death. He bore with a Christian patience and fortitude, the loss of his first companion and two infant children, who had no doubt entered the heavenly land before him, and welcomed his arrival. He suffered long in his much afflicted family; and had not been known for some years to doubt, for a moment, his acceptance with God. Having made arrangements respecting his temporal affairs, he patiently awaited the hour of his release from suffering and pain. On one occasion, he said to his friends he was going to die. I asked him if he still felt prepared. He said he did. On recovering a little, he said he thought he was just going to see his friends in heaven; calling many of heir names; but said he was willing to suffer another week longer if it was the will of the Lord. He had served the Church as class leader in different societies. He was beloved and esteemed. His end was perfect peace. May the God of the fatherless guide, direct, and sustain his little ones, seven in number, who are now doubly afflicted in the loss of their pious mother, whose obituary follows.
