Cedartown Standard, November 13, 1902
Mr. John Graverly, a clever farmer living north of town on the Cave Spring 
road, committed suicide Tuesday morning about sunrise, pressing a 32-caliber 
pistol to the back of his head and pulling the trigger. Dr. W. A. Chapman was 
summoned as soon as possible, but nothing could be done for the unfortunate 
man, and he passed away about 10 o’clock. Mr. Graverly was about sixty-three 
years of age, an old bachelor, and had had living with him for many years his 
widowed sister, Mrs. Herrage. He had become mentally unbalanced during the past 
few months, and a nephew by marriage, Mr. Napoleon Hunt, was in town in 
consultation with Ordinary A. D. Hogg about his condition when the news came of 
his suicide. The deceased was a clever citizen, and the Confederacy never had a 
braver soldier. His tragic end is greatly regretted by all who knew him. 
Funeral services were conducted yesterday at Friendship church by Revs. C. K. 
Henderson, N. A. Hamrick and W. J. Lovvorn.
