The Beacon Thursday July 4, 1839

Melancholy Accident-it is our duty to record one of those painful accidents 
that sometimes happen when at least unexpected, and afflict the domestic a 
reside with grief that will not be consoled. Mr. William A Graves, of this 
place, left in a small boat for Mill Creek on Tuesday morning, and was on his 
return home, when, near the port, he fell overboard, and after a vein effort 
to seize the bulwarks of the vessel, sunk to rise no more. His body has not 
yet been found. He has left a wife and several children to lament their sudden 
and heart rendering affliction.
