Mr. Graves was born, lived and died at the old homestead of his father and grandfather, now owned and occu- pied by his son, Lemuel F., and family. He was a kind-hearted, genial man, with a memory that never seemed to let go its hold upon passing events. Always a liberal-minded man, politically and religiously, disliking shams, or the show of religious zeal, when he knew the disposition to overreach a neighbor under the guise of religious fervency. He was much in office and had the entire confidence of his townsmen. A temperate, honest and upright man, a good citizen. We take pleasure in giving his portrait. Two ch:
