THOMAS GRAHAMFatal Fall
Thomas L. Graham Loses His Life in An Accident
Mr. Thomas L. graham of Casky, was fatally injured Friday morning by a fall from his barn, and died from his injuries at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. Mr. Graham had climbed up into the top of the barn to examine some tobacco to see if it had been fired enough. While so engaged he lost his footing and fell fifty feet. He caught with one hand part of the way down and that broke the force of his fall, but it is supposed his spine was hurt by this attempt to catch and save himself. He fell with great force and was completely disabled, through not rendered unconscious. The men who were with him put him on a cot and took him to the houses and doctors were summoned. No bones were broken but he was found to be injured internally or about the spine. He lingered nearly 48 hours, much of the time, unconscious. He fully realized the hopelessness of his condition from the first but accepted the inevitable result with Christian resignation. He called his family to his bedside Saturday and bade them farewell and said to them that he was willing and prepared to die. Shortly afterwards he became unconscious and continued to sink until the end came. Mr. graham was a son of the late John Graham and a brother of the late Walter S. Graham, of this city. He was 51 years old and leaves a wife and two grown children, Miss Katie Graham and Douglass Graham. The funeral services were held at the residence yesterday morning, but the pastor of the Pembroke Baptist church, of which deceased was a member. The interment took place in Hopewell cemetery.
