PROMINENT MAN IS CALLED HOME
Charles McGraw Died After Long Illness-Blood Poisoning Cause
After an illness extending over many weeks, and directly due to blood poisoning, Charles McGraw, one of East End's most prominent residents, was called by death at his home on Pennsylvania avenue at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon (May 16, 1911). Mr. McGraw was first taken down with grip which later developed into tonsillitis, and had practically recovered when an absess formed in his throat. Blood poisoning set in slightly over a week ago, and since that time Mr. McGraw fought bravely for life but he was forced to answer to the summons of the Master at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Deceased was one of East End's most prominent men, employed as an electrician at the local plant of the American Sewer Pipe company. A member of the Pennsylvania avenue Methodist Episcopal church, he was a faithful worker in its behalf. He was also an officer and prominently identified with the Personal Workers league.
Besides his wife, deceased is survived by four children, Nellie, Harold, Mildred and Theodosia, all at home.
Funeral services over the remains will be held at the late home on Pennsylvania avenue, at 7:30 o'clock this evening. The services will be in charge of Rev. E. P. Wise of the First Christian church of down town, and the local lodge of odd Fellows of which deceased was a member.
The body will be shipped tomorrow morning to Holidayburg, Pa., where interment will be made.
