GEORGE E. GRAVES
George, son of George E. and Jettchen (Habicht) Graves, was born August 23, 1914, in Denison, Iowa. The family made their home near Arcadia and moved to Manning in 1923. George graduated from Manning High School in 1933. On June 15 of that year he was united in marriage with Bernice Hinz. Two children, Kenneth and Joan, were born to this union. Bernice died in 1964. On December 9, 1965, George was united in marriage with Pauline Cramer. They continued to make their home in Manning.
