  	Graham guardian July 05, 1895 Frank Drollinger FRANK DROLLINGER DEAD He Died at 11 a.m. July 3d of Typhoid Fever at Pima. The sad intelligence reached us yesterday of the death of Frank Drollinger, of Pima, last Wednesday from typhoid fever. He had been sick about four weeks, and it seems a few days before his death he became delirious and got up from his bed and took cold, which is probably the direct cause of his death. Dr. Wightman has had charge of the case and did all in his power to save him but all the skill of the physician and tender nursing of loving relatives and friends could not prevent his soul from taking its flight to those silent realms above. The night before he died Dr. Porter was called in consultation by Dr. Wightman but they could not give him any relief. Frank was born at St. Thomas, Nevada, Nov 20th 1868. He has lived in Graham county about 8 years and was well known through out this part of the Territory. He was married about two years ago to Lidy Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Williams, of Pima. He leaves behind to morn his irripairable loss a father, mother, a wife and child, and host of other relatives and friends. The funeral took place on Thursday, after which the remains were followed to their last resting place by a multitude of sorrowing relatives and friends. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community. "There is a calm for those who weep, A rest for weary pilgrims found; And while the moldering ashes sleep Low in the ground, The soul, of origin divine, God's glorious image, freed from clay, In heaven's eternal sphere shall shine, A star of day!." Graham guardian July 05, 1895 Frank Drollinger (Obituary)

  Interestingly, brothers John and Stanley each were married to Lydia. Apparently, younger brother Stanley ended up marrying his older brother's widow a few years after his brother had passed away.
