A Good Man Gone
Jacob Graff died this morning between 8 and 9 o’clock, of pneumonia.  He was
born in Alsace 59 years ago.  He came to America at the age of 18, and lived
some time in Philadelphia.  In 1856 he was keeping a bakery and restaurant in
Camptonville, Sierra county.  In 1861 he came to Washoe, but went over the
mountains again to Cisco.  In 1868 he came to Reno and has since lived here.  He
was twice married and leaves eight children.  He was an Odd Fellow for a great
many years and was a Past Grand.  He has always been in the bakery and
restaurant business since he came to the country.  There were very few men more
respected for virtue and worth.  He was a very quick and industrious man.  He
left a nice property, consisting of the residence and the building occupied by
his bakery and the First National Bank.  The funeral will take place on Sunday
afternoon from Mr. Jenvey’s church.
