Tin* death of Mr. LeGraud,
which occurred at about 8:40 to
day, ia painful inteUignnoe to his
many friend*, and sadden* the
heart of the entire community.
Only a few week* hare passed
since with feeble step, he follow ed
to the grave, the remains of a lov
able devoted daughter, and now
hi* fneurl* will lay hit body to
rest by her side. It ia said that
aflictknis nsver come alone, and
wo see it verified iu the case of
this excelhmt family; and while
its members arc assured of the
wannest sympathy from a be
reaved community, they must
pass "under the rod.”
Ur LeGraud was too well knowu
in Richmond and even through
out the State, fur us to speak at
length of his virtues, hi* life and
hi* death, and as we expect to
hare injsar next issue an obituary
notice, we forbear to add to what
ha* been said.
The Headlight mourns with
those who mourn, reoogniting the
fact that real comfort oomes from
