_______________
Sallie Willie Graves was the youngest child of Jeremiah Graves, Jr., and Donna Rebecca Thornton Graves. Her first husband was Henry Williams Perry, a Yanceyville druggist and, at one time, its postmaster. He predeceased her by some forty-four years. Her second husband was D'Arch [D'Arcy] William Bradsher, long-time Person County Clerk of the Court (and married three times). He was quite a bilt older than Sallie Willie, and she outlived him as well (by many decades). No children resulted from either marriage.
From Graves family records that remain it seems that Sallie Willie was both beautiful outside and in. She had countless friends and admirers. Her beauty is obvious from the photographs posted above. A portrait of her hangs in the Richmond-Miles History Museum in Yanceyville, Caswell County, North Carolina.
Note the following from The Heritage of Person County, Volume I, Madeline Hall Eaker, Editor (1981) at 168-169 (Article #390, "D'Arcy William Bradsher" by Ann Bradsher Martin):
After the death of Susan Merritt Bradsher in 1916, D'Arcy Bradsher married Sallie Willie Graves Perry, a widow from Yanceyville. He and Sallie Willie then bought a house on Virginia Avenue and left the South Main Street house for his unmarried adult children. Thereafter Mrs. Bradsher drove him to and from the office. They were a handsome couple.
