Franklin R. Graves

Northern Christian Advocate, November 19, 1851

Franklin R. Graves, only brother of Rev. Hubert Graves (formerly a member of Black River conference) died at his residence in Antwerp, Jefferson county, N.Y., October 8th, 1851.  He was born in Harrisburgh, N.Y. [Lewis Co.], April 23, 1809; married April 4, 1833; experienced religion when about fourteen years of age, and united with the Baptist Church; but at the time of his death was not a member of any Church.  Those that knew him best believed him to be a pious man.  He was a regular attendant upon public worship, and contributed to its support.  His house, also, was open to entertain the servants of God.  His sickness was short, being taken with the apoplexy at half past seven A.M., and died about four P.M.  Surely, "in the midst of life we are in death."  He has left a widow and four children. to mourn his loss.  May the Lord sustain them in their deep affliction.     Joseph H. Lamb  Theresa, Nov. 4, 1851

At the home of his grandmother, Mrs. J. Medbury, last Friday morning at 3 o'clock, occurred the death of Frank Medbury Pendleton, one of Cuba's [Alleghany Co., NY] best known and highly respected young men.  He was taken with acute indigestion the afternoon previous and for a time his condition was considered critical.  He rallied nicely, however, and seemed to be improving until late Thursday afternoon when he suffered a relapse.  Dr. Kinney of Wellsville was called in consultation with the family physician, but their efforts were in vain.  The funeral services were held at the house Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and were very largely attended. Rev. E.D. Hardin, pastor of the Presbyterian church officiated, using the Episcopal service, deceased being a regular attendant of that church.  At the cemetery the services were in charge of the Odd Fellows fraternity, Mr. Pendleton having been a prominent member of both the Subordinate Lodge and Encampment of Cuba.  Over 100 Odd Fellows attended in uniform. The Cuba Fire department also attended in uniform, deceased having been a prominent  member of the W. J. Glenn Hose company.  Among the very beautiful floral offerings was a pillow from the Odd Fellows and a broken column from the Glenns.  Mr. Pendleton was born at West Clarksville, N.Y., August 2, 1881, and came to Cuba when a child.  He received his education at Cuba High school and the Buffalo Business college.  When only a boy he entered the store of his uncle, W.B. Wilson, and has held the position of clerk there ever since.  He was of a genial, obliging disposition and was popular with and admired by all with whom he came in contact.  No young man in Cuba would be more sincerely missed and his death is mourned by all who knew him.  His is survived by his mother, Mrs. Flora Pendleton and a sister, Miss Fanny Pendleton.  His father, J.H. Pendleton, died in 1889.---Cuba Free Press,  Dec. 12.  Mrs. Pendleton was Miss Flora Medbury, daughter of Jerry Medbury, for several years proprietor of the Eagle hotel in this village [Norwich, NY].
