Robert Malcolm Gragg Born January 7, 1852 in Deepwater Township, Henry County Missouri Son of Henry H. Gragg and Polly A. Gragg Brother of William H. Gragg, Nancy Jane Gragg, Frances Gragg, Thomas (Marion) Gragg, Robert M. Gragg, Sarah R. (Gragg) Colson, Sarah Rebecca Gragg, Samuel Francis Gragg, John A. Gragg, Lillie Lee Gragg, George W. Gragg, Dulcena M Gragg and Elbert A Gragg Husband of Martha Jane Harper — married December 10, 1882 in Henry County, Missour Father of Oral O Gragg, Effie Lee Gragg, Etta M Gragg, Leslie A Gragg and Fred Harper Gragg Died January 30, 1930 in Montrose, Henry County Early on the morning of January 30th, 1930, the Death Angel came to our little village and claimed as its victim, Robert Malcomb Gragg. He was born January 7th, 1852, in Henry County, Missouri, in the Hopewell community spending most of his life there. He came to Montrose, in 1910. He was one of the late pioneers of this country, having his beginning in life when the great Middle West was little more than a great open space. He witnessed many changes in the country, that few are still living to tell about. Just after the sun had arisen to illuminate the earth on the morning of January 30th, God sent His Angel to brother Gragg to relieve him of his intense suffering, and illuminate his soul for an Eternity where the dark shadows never come again. He lived to be seventy-eight years and twenty-three days old. He was married to Martha J. Harper, December 10, 1882. To this union six children were born, four boys and two girls, one son died in infancy. Those left behind are his wife, Mrs. Martha J. Gragg, Montrose, Missouri; his two daughters, Mrs. Effie Lee Fenimore, Rockville, Mo.; and Mrs. Etta M. Bramell, Montrose; his sons Leslie A. Gragg, of Urich; Fred H. Gragg, of Center, Colo.; and Oral O. Gragg, of Montrose, at whose home Mr. Gragg was staying at the time of his death. He had ten grand children living and two dead. He also left four brothers and three sisters. Mr. Gragg moved to Montrose in January 1910, engaging in the harness business from 1918 until 1919, when he sold out his business to his son Oral. After 1919 he retired from active business and spent his years quietly and peacefully in his home at Montrose. His health began to fail two years ago, since that time he was a sufferer more or less, until God called him from his affliction. How true it is, that man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble, and men today are still asking the age old question, if a man die shall he live again? But Brother Gragg believed in the Immortality of the soul, and he rested his Eternal destiny on the life giving Words of the Savior, when He said, He that believeth in me shall never die, and though he were dead he shall live again. Brother Gragg's honesty and integrity was unquestioned by all who knew him. He was one of the few that we meet in this world that all speak well of. No doubt he pondered many things in his heart, but none can remember of hearing him say a single word of harm of anyone. His funeral services were conducted at the Hopewell Cumberland Presbyterian church, by the pastor, L. C. Bromley. His body was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery at await the morning of eternity. In the passing of brother Gragg, the town and community has lost one of its best citizens, yet we trust that with his passing, and his long, useful and congenial life God will be able through his example of honesty and integrity to build higher the ambitions of all those who knew Mr. Gragg and his life of sincerity. The sympathy of the entire town and community goes out to his bereaved wife and children.
