I have a listing of the Brasher Cemetery....Ray Co, MO. This info was given to
me in 1985 by Mrs. Arthur E. (Lucy) Moore. She and her husband mowed and cared
for the cemetery for years.
She had written this on the listing::::::

In 1927-1977......during its restoration ....listing compiled by Mrs. A. E.
Moore and is belived to be the only complete listing to be made of this site.

Thomas J. Graves ---- born: 25 Sep 1847 --- died: 8 July 1899

Lucy A. Graves ---- wife of T. J. Graves --- born: 5 July 1851 - died: 8
July 1899

Lidia A. Graves -- mother of T. J. Graves -- died: 22 Dec 1893 -- age:
75 years

This is all find on the Graves family in the listing and have no ideal how hey
are related to others buried there.

My main relationship to ones buried there: Brasher - Endsley -McGee - Vaughn
-
And by marriages: Blain - Clements - Fraizer - Kirpatrick - Perdue - Ralph -
Riffe -
Vance -

I hope this is of some help.......maybe T. J. Graves....had a sister and a wife
by the same name???
Is the mothers name...new info to you???
