MRS. CHARLES GRAVES DIES
#1:
The body of Mrs. Charles Graves was brought here for burial today, March 1, 1931, from her late home in Minneapolis. She leaves two children, a son, Clarence and a daughter, Viola, a son, Eugene, has died, and another daughter died in infancy.
The Graves' are a gifted family musically, the late Charles Graves having been possibly the finest cornetist Osage ever produced - and his family orchestra was well known in Minneapolis.
Her son Clarence is a violinist in the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, which famous musical organization has lately been taken over by the University of Minnesota.

Buried here Sunday
Mrs. Charles Graves, of Minneapolis, formerly of Osage, died last Wednesday and the body was brought to Osage Sunday for burial, accompanied by her son, Clarence, and daughter, Viola.
Mrs. Grave's maiden name was Miss Elizabeth Percy, and she and her family lived for a number of years on a farm northwest of Osage. Her husband's family will be more readily remembered here, as the father, Jacob Graves, operated a cobbler's shop on Main Street. One of his daughters married Edwin Sawyer, another is Mrs. Hattie Sprague.
The deceased and her husband were parents of four children, a daughter who died in infancy; Eugene, also deceased, and the two mentioned above. Mr. Graves died in 1928, and is buried in the local cemetery.
