HARALSON COUNTY TRIBUNE 
Thursday, April 8, 1937 

Mrs C C Eaves, age 91, passed quietly away at the home of her
daughter, Mrs W E Morgan, 2 1/2 miles southeast of Buchanan last
Friday morning at 6:45 oclock. Mrs Eaves had been in declining
health for the past several years, and she bore her suffering
with rare Christian fortitude. For several weeks prior to her
death her condition was considered serious and all that loving
hands and medical skill was done for her.  She was the widow of
the late C C Eaves, one of Haralson county's pioneer citizens,
who passed away over twenty years ago. Through her kindly
disposition and her willingness to help the less fortunate, she
had won hundreds of warm friends. Funeral services were held over
the remains at Pineywoods Primitive Baptist Church Saturday
morning, being attended by a large crowd of sorrowing relatives
and friends. Rev J S Edwards of Taylorsville paid a glowing
tribute to her memory.  Beside her daughter, Mrs W E Morgan, she
is survived by five sons: Dr B F Eaves of Draketown, W T Eaves of
Tallapoosa, J L Eaves of Buchanan, Bailey Eaves of near Bremen,
and J C Eaves, of near Buchanan.

Pioneer Citizen Passes Away -

Graves Eaves Succumbs After a Short Illness Of Fever

Mr. Graves Eaves, one of the oldest and best known citizens of
Haralson County, died at his home near Draketown on Thursday
(November 2) of last week, after an illness of only a few days of
fever. The deceased was 78 years of age at the time of his death.
He leaves a devoted wife, four children and hundreds of relatives
and friends to mourn his passing away. He had been a resident of
this county for many years and was always an active and energetic
man, both mentally and physically, giving liberally of his time,
labor and sympathy in homes of sickness and death. In religion,
he early developed the habit of weighing things in the balances
of reasons, discarding that which did not harmonize with the
Creator's plan as he saw God's laws in the big book of Nature. He
believed in doing good for the sake of humanity and not in the
fear of anger and vengeance of a higher power. He was laid to
rest Friday afternoon in the burying grounds at Pineywoods
Church, with Masonic Honors.
