General Notes:
From E. Fred Kile in an email Dec 2004: "I recently found an old newspaper clipping that is in very bad condition so I'll type out it's contents for you.
"BOY DIES AT HOSPITAL"
Mechanicsburg, Pa.. March 2 (no year, ca 1918)
W. Scott Graybill, Jr., the ten year old son of Mr.and Mrs.W. Scott Graybill, East Louis street (I'm sure this is a misprint and should be Locust), died on Thursday [February 28, 1918] at the Harrisburg Hospital, where he underwent an operation for appendicitis about ten days previously. The lad was on a fair way to recovery, when a sudden stomach trouble caused his death. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at his late home at 1:30 o'clock. Burial will be made in the Mechanicsburg cemetery."
The 1910 Federal Census for Mechanicsburg records Scott M. Graybill (23), wife Lucy C. (22) and children Ethale M. (4), Winfield S. (2), and George E. (11/12) living at 104 Locust Street.
