Death of Col. Graftcn F. Cookerly Sunday Evening.

(R,T„,

A Sketch of the Life of an Old and Prominent Citizen. yrom Mondsre daily.

Ex-Mayor Grafton F. Cookerly died last evening at 9:20 o'clock of softening of the brain. The event was unexpected even to his physioian, Dr. Jno. Crapo, who said that although he could not recover he would probably live for several weeks at least. A little before 9 o'clock it was noticed that he was sinking rapidly. His son Tom was instantly brought to his bedside, and he^xpired a few minutes later. He was totally unconscious when death came, and passed away calmly aud peacefully.

The community was much startled iVtiw morning by the sad news, and on every side were heard expressions of most sincere sorrow. Few persons have lived in our city so long and enjoyed the unalloyed confidence and esteem as well as political popularity which has been accorded to Col. CooKerly.

The funeral will take place on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

jii Biography. Col. Grafton F. Cookerly was boM in Frederick county, Md., on the 4th of February, 1815. His early education was obtained at the common schools. He resided in Maryland until 21 years of age. In 1836 he went to Bloomington, Ind., with bis mother and family, his father having died in 1823. He attended college in Bloomington about three years in l840 he spent one term at Asbury University in Greencastle. In 1841 he came to having commenced law under ning at Bloomington, he continued the same in this city in the offioeofC. W. Barbour and brother. Although he had been regularly admitted to the bar at Bloomington he was not altogether satisfied with his professional preparation he continued to be a student for several years and, in 1845, attended the law school at Bloomington, then under the charge of the late Judge David McDonald. He practiced law at Merom, then th0 county seat of Sullivan county, and at Terre Haute till 1843, when ne settled permanently in the latter place.

Mr. Cookerly first started in life a Whig. He became a Democrat in 1840, when he supported Lewis Cass against Harrison, making his first stump speeches in that spirited canvass. Iu 1844 he supported Henry Clay, but since then has been a warm and zealous supporter of the Democratic party, and though not always agreeing With the majority, few men have fought the opposition with the courage, tact and energy which characterized him as a politician.

In 1845 he was elected to represent Vigo county in the state legislature, in which body he took an active and prominent part. He was re-elected in 1847 and served as a member of the committee on the Judiciary. In 1850 he was elected a delegate to the convention to revise the state constitution, and during the four months of its session, was an active and vigorous worker. ,,.

In 1855 he purchased the t*'« TEKBE HAUTE JOUBNAL, the organ of the Democracy in this section of the state, which he conducted with marked ability and success until 1862.

In 1856 he was appointed by Governor Wright a director of the Jeffersonville state prison and was reappointed in 1857 by Governor Willafd, and elected to the same office by the Legislature in 1859, for a term of four years, thus serving in all as a director of the Jeffersonville prison during a period of seven years.

In 1867 he was elected mayor of the city of Terre Haute and re-elected in 1871. Since then he has served for ten years as Justice of the Peace, only retiring a few months ago. This spring he was a leading candidate for the Democratic mayoralty nomination, and his strength in the convention was second only to Mr. Kolsem, the successful candidate.

Mr. Cookerly's personal popularity has usually carried him ahead of his ticket, as was the case in his election to the constitutional convention, and twioe to the mayoralty of the city, when there was a considerable party majority on the other side. He was a man of more than ordinary abilities, well read in his profession, thoroughly trained in the school of experience, energetic and persistent in his undertakings, warm and genial as a friend and companion, a sagacious politician, honorable and upright in his dealings, and justly stood high among his fellow citizens.

He was an nctive member of the Masonic fraternity, having joined Social Lodge No. 86 in 1868. He was also Master Workman in the Ancient Order of United Workmen. Mr. Cookerly was first married October 31st, 1843, to Miss Mary Hitchcock, of Terre Haute, formerly of Utica, N. Y., and had ten children, seven of whom are living. Mrs. Cookerly died on the 17th. day of September, 1872. Mr. Cookerly was again married on Jan 1st. 1874, to Miss Nannie M. Ferguson from whom he was afterwards divorced. In 1881 he was married to Mrs. Snyder, who survives him. Of the seven cliildren who are still living there are two sons and five daughters. Will Cookerly is now living in Topeka, Kansas, and is well known in Terre Haute. Tom the other son, is the Union Depot Ticket Agent in this city,

SHELBUBN, Ind.,. July 8.—[GAZETTE special]—Last night about midnight the most destructive fire that has ever visited this place occurred. The fire broke out in the store room formerly owned by S. E.

CLEVELAND, O., July 8.—"I expect to see Maud S trot in 2.*08 at our summer meeting" said Pres. Edwards, of the Cleveland driving Park Association today. *4I saw Mr. Bonner in New York and he promised to come here and see her trot. It will be for a cup, and you have my word for it that she will do her level best. Mr. Bonner thinks that with a good track the Queen will- lower her record of 2:0934 by at least a second and hopes to see 2:08 reached. She is in great trim, never better, and will be given some good hard work before that time.

Obituary.

BILET, VIGO Co., IND., July 7,1885:— Two days ago the Masonic fraternity at at this place, and the many friends of Sevelin Wyeth, an old and respected citizen of this township, conveyed his remains to its last resting place. To say that* during his life he was a model man would be putting it mildly. The writer of this, having been his family physician for fifteen years, had ample opportunities of learning his general makeup thoroughly. In his family he was remarkably kind in the neighborhood he was noted for his sociability in the church he was a consistent Christian by the Masonic fraternity he was loved and esteemed.

During the long and intimate acquaintance of the writer with* him he never heard him use an obscene or profane word or say aught derogatory to the character of any one. During his protracted illness he never murmured and fully realized for weeks that life was gradually ebbing out. He met death patiently and firmly. This community has lost a noble man.

The Steamboat Excursion.

About one hundred persons left for Hutsonville bright and early yesterday morning for a steamboat excursion. The party was so large that it was pretty crowded and on the way back the steamer struck a snag and laid out all night reaching here at 7 this morning, about a twenty-fours' cruise. The eight or ten berths were occupied by ladies and the rest of the pdrty sat up or stood up all night and are the most badly bunged up, red eyed, sleepy lot of sinners that e*»r went "a pleasuring." As one of the party expresses it "the trip was so long that the children we took with us were grown people when we get back and we were lucky that no deaths occurred from general debility and old age."

The Hot Weather

Of mid-summer has a weakening effect, both upon body and mind. You feel absolutely incapable of doing any arduous work, and even light. duties are performed languidly and unwillingly. This low state of the system causes even greater infirmity, and gives opportunity for serious disease to gain a foot-hold. In this condition the system is quick to respond to the reviving, quickening and strengthening effects of Hood's, Sarsaparilla, which purifies the blood, regulates the digestive organs, and infuses life and vigor into every portion of the body. People who have taken it write us, saying: "It puts new life right into me." '*It makes me young again." Reader, if you suffer from summer weakness, try Hood's Sarsaparilla, 100 Doses $1. }{,
