Grafton, West Virginia, is associated with the first official Mother's Day service, held on May 10, 1908, at Andrews Methodist Church, now the International Mother's Day Shrine, after Anna Jarvis founded the observance in honor of her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, who died on May 9, 1905, and whose prayer after a Sunday School class on Mothers of the Bible inspired her. The city's first National Cemetery opened in 1868 to bury Union soldiers who died in West Virginia military hospitals and battlefields, and when more space was needed, a second National Cemetery was dedicated on Sept. 27, 1987, and opened for interments the next day. Tygart Dam, authorized by the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1935, was built during the Great Depression as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to address both flood and drought, while Tygart Lake State Park on the lake's eastern shore offers lodging, dining, cabins, camping, and recreation. The Grafton B & O Railroad Station and Willard Hotel became a center of activity in the early 1900's, reflecting the railroad's importance to the local economy; in 1907 John T. McGraw offered land and a hotel if the railroad would build an adjoining passenger station, and at one time 33 passenger trains arrived and departed daily. On May 22, 1861, Pvt. Thornsbury Bailey Brown was shot and killed by a Confederate soldier at Fetterman Bridge in what is generally regarded as the Civil War's first Union combat fatality. Grafton also includes the Anna Jarvis Birthplace, the home of the founder of Mother's Day, which also served as the first field headquarters of General George McClellan and now functions as a museum with one room devoted to McClellan memorabilia.
