MRS. FRED GRAVES CLAIMED BY DEATH

Former Local Resident Succumbs Friday Morning in Hospital At Elgin,
Illinois

Mrs. Fred Graves, 34, Palatine, Ill., a former Evansville resident, died
Friday morning in the hospital at Elgin, Ill., following several months of
ill health. Funeral services were held at 1:45 p.m. Sunday in the chapel of
Rossman Kinzer company, Beloit, with a brief prayer service in the home of
her sister, Mrs. Theodore Lake, 722 Oak street.

Mrs. Graves, formerly Miss Helen Olson, Beloit, was born Oct. 19, 1895 and
was a graduate of both the Beloit high school and the State Teachers'
college at Whitewater. Following her marriage to Fred Graves at Beloit in
Jan. 1924, she came to this city where Mr. Graves was at the head of the
poultry department of the D. E. Wood Butter company.

Mr. and Mrs. Graves made their home here until the former transferred to
Ohio two years ago.

Besides a host of friends, Mrs. Graves is survived by her husband; two
sons, Robert and Richard; and one sister, Mrs. Theodore Lake, Beloit. To
them is extended the heart-felt sympathy of the entire community.
