Sunday Paper: Grader Drops Dead

On 15 October 1895, George W. Grader I passed away with a flair befitting his colorful life. A fight over the boundaries of a cemetery plot ended in court. Although he was acquitted of assault charges, he didn't make it home to celebrate. Grader was a prominent citizen and inventor; news of his death was found in several papers, including The Charlotte Observer (North Carolina), Knoxville Journal (Tennessee), and the Enterprise (Ohio).
