Aunt Grace and my Aunt Ruth shared a home in Tarrant, Alabama, one house down from her brother, my Grandfather William Frederick Graves on Wharton Avenue. I remember her home always very clean and everything in it's place. She always had a candy bowl in her living room where she would let us visit often, sometimes a special Cola in her refrig for us. I spent a lot of time on her front porch just visiting. I still have the beautiful candy dish she gave me when I married, she had bought it at a department store called Loveman's in downtown Birmingham. When I had my son, Aunt Ruth had passed away and her daughter Ella, lived with her, I remember she would lovingly hold my son, and tell me to always be a good mother to him that he deserved the best. She was a very well spoken and knowledgeable, graceful lady.
She had the most beautiful gray hair always perfectly arranged, with the clearest blue eyes. I remember she had purchased a light blue blanket for my son, the same color as her eyes.
A very wonderful lady.
She married William Hudson Musgrove, Sr. on May 5th, 1909.
