Funeral of Mrs. Graves Held Monday

Member of Noted Kentucky Family

The funeral services of Mrs. B. B. Graves took place at the late home on the Lawrenceburg Pike yesterday, conducted by the Rev. T. F. Taliaffero, of the Methodist Church of which she was a life-long member. The internment was in the
Frankfort Cemetery. Mrs. Graves, 64, died at the home of her husband on the Lawrenceburg Pike, three miles south of Frankfort, Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. after a heart attack.

Mrs. Graves had been in ill health for some time but was about the house during the day and was sitting in the chair when stricken. Dr. Minish was summoned but announced that human aid could have been of no avail.

Mrs. Graves before her marriage was Margaret LeCompte Kavanaugh, eldest daughter of the late Rev. P. E. Kavanaugh, and was the granddaughter of the late Joseph LeCompte, first Congressman from the Ashland district and contemporary of Henry Clay, who frequently visited at his home in LeCompte's Bottom below Flat Creek.

Mrs. Graves spent much of her life in LeCompte's Bottom and removed to Fox Gap neighborhood when her husband purchased a farm about twenty years ago. Mrs. Graves had a wide circle of friends and was best known for her charitable and kindly deeds for all with whom she came in contact.

Mrs. Graves is survived by her husband, B. B. Graves, three children, Miss Hattie and Frank Graves, Mrs. Edward Hempil and four grandchildren.
