From Nevada Representative November 11, 1908

County Correspondence

CAMBRIDGE

Word was received by telegraph yesterday by F. W. Larson, that Dr. W. H. Grafton died in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, Nov. 8th at 1:30 o'clock p. m. Mr. Grafton and family moved from Cambridge to California, some two years ago. Dr. Grafton was one of the early settlers of Cambridge, Iowa, dating about 1857. Old lady Livingston*, Dr. Grafton's mother-in-law, was west with the Graftons and just arrived a few days ago from Los Angeles to make a visit with children and friends in and near Cambridge and reported the doctor's health very poor.

*SUBMITTER'S NOTE: Dr. William Hill Grafton was married to Sarah Britany Livingston, daughter of Michael Delaney Livingston and Mary Elizabeth Wilson. Therefore, "Old lady Livingston" was Mary Elizabeth (Wilson) Livingston who died in 1911.
