Private funeral services were to be held this afternoon from Mulhearn Funeral Home chapel for Dr. James Q. Graves, well known Monroe physician who died unexpectedly at his home here at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the age of 80. Burial was to be in the Columbia Cemetery.
Death was attributed to a cerebral hemorrhage.
A medical practitioner for 52 years, Dr. Graves was a native of Columbia, and was one of 11 doctors who received a special citation and membership in the 50-year Doctor Club in 1956 at a meeting of the Louisiana State Medical Society.
Dr. Graves graduated from Louisiana Tech, and finished at Tulane Medical School in 1906. He interned at Charity Hospital in Shreveport.
He was once appointed assistant postmaster in Monroe, between sessions of his schooling. In 1908, he married the former Alda Holloman, who survives.
Beginning his medical practice in Columbia, Dr. Graves moved to Monroe two years later and entered into a partnership with Dr. J. L. Adams. The partnership lasted until Dr. Adams' death in 1927.
In more recent years he was associated with Dr. M. W. Hunter and Dr. John Snellings, and was currently associated with Dr. Sol Courtman.
Dr. Graves was the last surviving member of the first staff of St. Francis.
He was a member of the First Methodist Church in Monroe, past president of the Rotary Club, holder of 50-year Kappa Sigma pin, a 32nd degree Mason and a Knight Templar. Dr. Graves held membership in the Surgical Association of Louisiana and was president of that group in 1951. He was also a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and for 30 years he was the state delegate to the American Medical Society, the longest time any delegate ever served.
Besides the widow, he is survived by four daughters, Mrs. John Theus, Mrs. King Stubbs, Mrs. Kent Breard and Mrs. A. B. Myatt, Jr., all of Monroe; 10 grandchildren, two nephews, and a niece.
Pallbearers were Ronald L. Davis, Bobby Shafto, E. K. Theus, Jim Sherman, Jim Caldwell, Dave Aaron, Travis Oliver and J. L. Adams.
