Democrat Standard 4 Nov 1887
Last Tuesday morning at an early hour, Dr. J.B. Ingraham died at his residence on west Main street, after a several months tedious illness. Dr. Ingraham was born in Harrison couty, Va., on November 9, 1821, and came to this State and began the study of medicine with Dr. Carpenter of Athens in 1840. He afterward located in Plainfield this county, and had been in continuous practice until the time of his last illness. In 1847 he was married to Sarah Elizabeth Guthrie, a highly esteemed lady, of Logan, Ohio. For many days it was known to those about him that the end was near, and his children, were hastily summoned to his bedside, and all were present when the vital spark was extinguished. His three sons--Charles M., ex-city recorder; R.J., a young attorney, and E. Floyd, all of Kansas City, Mo., together with his daughters, Mrs. H.L. Mann, of Washington, D.C.; Mrs. Joseph W. Marsh, of Pittsburgh, Pa; Mrs. G.J. Clarke of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Alex. Renfrew, of Canal Lewisville, were all gathered at the last sad scene. The funeral services were conducted by Revs. Jno. I. Wilson and W.E. Hunt at the family residence on Wednesday afternoon, and the interment took place in Oak Ridge Cemetery, It can be said of Dr. Ingraham that the extensive and continued practice of his profession won for him the distinction of being one of the most successful practitioners in this part of the state, especially in surgery.
