• Notes

  Charles and Ida lived in Viroqua, Wisconsin in 1880. Living with them at the time was Pearl Rea, Ida's little brother. From History of Vernon County 1884, Chapter XVI, The Bar of Vernon County: "Charles W. Graves is the pioneer member of the law firm of Butt & Graves, and located here for practice in May, 1879. His father, Lewis W. Graves, Esq., was for twenty-five years a prominent member of the bar of Monroe Co., Wis. Charles W. was born at East Aurora, in Erie Co., N.Y. Nov. 29, 1854 and was a law student under his father for many years. He also studied a short time with A. E. Bleekman, Esq., of Sparta, Wis. and was admitted to practice in the circuit court at Sparta Jann. 5, 1876. He there formed a law partnership with Fred T. Condit, which continued through 1876 and afterward with A. E. Bleekman. This latter tie was severed in 1879, and Mr. Graves came to Viroqua where he has been in active practice since. His wife was formerly Ida Rea, a native of Oshkosh, Wis. They have two children, Earl W. and Ray." (p. 195) "In 1883 the bar of Vernon county was composed of the following named gentlemen: W. F. Terhune, James E. Newell, C. M. Butt, II, P. Proctor, L. J. Risk, C. W. Graves, O. B. Wyman, H. C. Forsyth, C. A. Roberts, W. N. Carter, L. Tollefson and W. S. Field of Viroqua and G. L. Miller of De Soto." (p. 192)
