FRANCIS ANDREW GRAVES
F. A. GRAVES, a farmer of
Castoria Township, was born in Marion County, Missouri, March 18, 1833, where
he remained until 1846, when he went to Wisconsin and engaged in teaming. In
1860 he came to California, landing in Shasta County, where he worked at
carpentering for four years. After two years absence from this county he
returned and purchased the ranch on which he now resides, and has made a
comfortable home for his aged mother and father. Henry B., his father, was born
in Virginia in 1809, and his mother, Lurena A. (Wilson) Graves, was also born
