birthplace. I assumed it was correct, but never found any birth records
for her. Then I found several references to her being born in Benton Co. Or.
Seemed correct, but I still wonder why she is repeatedly saying she was born in
J.C. Would you be able to look for maybe a birth announcement for the
local newspaper? Sometimes I find that they were indeed born in a
city, but that is not where they lived, so the announcement is listed later
where they actually lived. Her parents are James & Melvina Graves. </span></font></p>
