Notes about Harry C Graves

Told by Catherine Gall Brems; While living on a farm in Wisconsin, Harry was chopping wood with an ax. The metal head of the ax flew off, the sharp edge hitting him in the head. Thinking he was okay, he went into the house for the rest of the day. The next morning, he was partially paralyzed, so his wife took him to the hospital. Apparently the injury had done some brain damage and Harry spent the next year or so in a wheelchair until he died. His wife took a job cooking for a widower to bring in some income.
