Notwithstanding his advanced age he was remarkably well preserved and in apparently good health. Last Monday evening he retired somewhat earlier than usual and complained of feeling a little indisposed. While trying to make him comfortable it was noticed that a change had come over him and medical as well as spiritual assistance was summoned but he sank rapidly and at 8:30 Mr. LaGrave had quietly passed away.
