DEATH OF GRAFTON THOMASON
His friends in this county will be very sorry to hear of the death of their old-time fellow-citizen, Grafton Thomason Esq, which occurred at his residence in Edgerton, Platte Cc MO, March 26th, 1882.
In consequence of a painful disease, it became necessary last Thursday to amputate one of his legs, and his speedy death afterwards was doubtless from the exhaustion which followed the operation. He died with perfect serenity and in the full possession of all his mental faculties.
Mr. Thomason was born in Scott Co KY August 16th, 1816. In the spring of the year 1836, with his father, the late William Thomason Esq, he removed from his native state, and became a citizen of Clay Co MO where he remained until 1857. In the latter year, he removed to Atchison KS where he remained some years. Returning to MO, he lived in Wellington, Lafayette Co near 5 years, removing thence to Edgerton in 1877, where he continued to reside until his death.
His family is of Virginian descent and has always born an honorable name. He was a brother of our well-known citizens, Capt Jno S Thomason, Mrs Madaline Talbott and Mrs Anderson B Everett; also, of Mrs Ewen C Hale, of Clinton Co MO. He was married several times, and though he had a large number of children, but 5 survive him. They are: Edwin Thomason of CA, John T Thomason of MT; Ellis G Thomason of Washington Territory; Ely Thomason of Platte Co MO, and Mrs Katharine Timberlake of Liberty MO.
Although 25 years have passed since he removed to Atchison KS, yet his memory has remained fresh in this county, and the older citizens felt as if he were "one of us." This was because the strong and manly qualities of Mr Thomason impressed all with whom he came in contact. He was one of those open, generous, honest souls which entertained no quile, nor feared it. The firm grasp of his hand and the broad smile on his face were never-failing assurances of his friendlness and good faith. Probably in a life time one would not see a countenance in which there was less concealment. Moreover, it literally beamed welcome to his friends, whom he loved with far more than ordinary strength.
Though he did not achieve a fortune, yet he was of very great service to every community in which he lived. He had a most excellent mechanical genius, and loved to manage machinery. He and his brother, the late William M Thomason Esq of Clay Co MO, built the Liberty Mills. This was in the spring of 1850.
Mr Thomason was a grand speciman of the old Missourian yeomanry -- hearty, fearless, downright in act and speech, true to friends, not severe to enemies, liberal, whole-souled, and of the sturdiest physical proportions. There is no one who does not wish that he may rest in peace.
