Half sister to Marcellene Hueter, Thelma was the first born child to Fred McKinley Graham and Hazel Lydia Jenette Gascock (Graham), Fred's first wife. There is a mystery. The death date is the one the family has always had for her. Marcellene and her sister placed the marker in recent years at the place of a half-brother, Bill, had marked years earlier with a pip when visiting the grave with their mother.
The 1920 US Census for Brogan, Malheur County, Oregon, shows Thelma as a 4 year old child, with Chester as a 2 year old and Bill as a baby yet unnamed. Their parents are living with Hazel's parents, John & Minnie Glascock (or Clark). Sometimes people include a child's name that had died on the next census so it would be recorded. The father never commented on the death; Marcellene's mother, Fred's second wife, said they awoke one morning to find her dead. It was assumed in later years, probably crib death. She was sleeping with them; there was no heat at night in the house. Marcellene, has Thelma's birth certificate; Oregon has yet to find a death certificate for her. As an infant, her death may not have been recorded. There is no record for her in Huntington, as being at the cemetery. If she was alive at the time of the 1920 census, she must have died soon after as a family member has no memory of her except the story they all know of her death. Marcellene is still hoping to find a death certificate.
