Sudden Death of Churchville Man
Churchville, August 9, - This community was shocked last evenig by the usdden death of Hugh
       Garrighan, at his home on West Buffalo St.  Mr. Garrghan was born in Churchville, July
       7th, 1862, and Churchville had since been his home.  He suffered greatly with heart
       trouble and asthma since a child.  He was for sometimeinthe employ of the old firm of
       Stone & Briscoe.  Twenty - five years ago he secured employment with the Est Shore
       Railroad at this point as crossing flagman at Main St. and several years later was
       transferred to Buffalo St. crossing, which position he held at the time of his death.
       Last evening after returning home from duty at the crossing, he exhibited signs of
       extreme weakness and sat down to rest on the back porch at his father's home.  It was
       noticed by members of the family that he was worse than usual and a physician was
       summoned, but to no avail, as he expired almost immediately.  He was well known here and
       leaves many friends.  He also found favor with numerous railroad men, with whom many
       years of faithful service brought him daily in contact. Of his immediate relatives there
       remains an aged father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. William Garraghan; one sister, Mrs. Mary
       Turner of Churchville and five brothers, John Garraghanof Haverstraw, NY, William
       Garraghan of Batavia, Michael Garrghan of New Haven, Conn., James Garrighan of Syracuse,
