Son of Michael and Mary Obenshain Graybill. Married to Hattie Lockwood. Rev. A. T. Graybill, D. D. Died in Linares, Mexico.
- REV. ANTHONY T. GRAYBILL, D.D. -
Rev. A. T. Graybill, D.D., of the Presbyterian Mission at Linares, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, died suddenly on the morning of January 21 of paralysis of the heart.
He completed his freshman year at Roanoke College, Salem, Va., in June, 1861.
A comrade of his writes that he enlisted as a private in a company raised at Amsterdam, in Botetourt County, Va., by the late Capt. Peachy Gilmer Breckinridge, which was mustered into the service of the Confederate States as Company K, Twenty-Eighth Virginia Infantry. He served as sergeant during the war. He was twice wounded, was taken prisoner on April 6, 1865, to Point Lookout, and paroled in June, 1865.
In the fall of 1866 he returned to Roanoke College to complete his education, and was graduated from that institution in June, 1869. He entered the Union Theological Seminary, Hampden Sidney, Va., after that as a ministerial student, and graduated in the spring of 1872, and immediately entered upon ministerial labors as a supply, first in Pocahontas County and afterwards in Giles County, Va.
In 1873 he was appointed by his Church as a missionary to the city of Matamoras, Mexico, and entered upon his duties as such in
January, 1874. He continued to labor in that city for fourteen years, when he was transferred to the city of Linares, in the State of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, and labored in that field for seventeen years. His labors as a missionary were crowned with success.
A.T. Graybill was not a brilliant man, but he was a brave and loyal defender of whatever cause he conceived to be the right. Ever gentle and considerate of the rights and feelings of others, he was well suited to be the leader of men and measures. While he died in a foreign land, differing from many in his religious and moral views, all who knew him respected and honored him, as was evidenced by the great crowd of officials and leading citizens of Linares who followed his remains to the cemetery of that city, where they were interred on January 22, 1905. Confederate Veteran, Vol. XIII, p. 236.
