- Pioneer Woman of Milano is Claimed by Death
Mrs. Rebecca Graham, 89 Years Old, Buried Tuesday after Death Monday Evening
Funeral services for Mrs. Rebecca Graham, 89, who died early Monday evening at her home near Milano, were held Tuesday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. from the Phillips & Luckey chapel with Rev. Frederick Ross of the First Christian Church, Taylor and Rev. C. Edward Fraim of Rockdale officiating. Burial was made in the old Hurt family burial grounds near Chriesman.
Mrs. Graham, was Rebecca Hurt, was born in Clark county, Miss., on Nov. 30, 1855, and came to Texas with her parents at the age of two years, the family settling in Milam county.
Rebecca Hurt was married to Archie L. Graham on September 1, 1872. There was born to this union five sons and four daughters, of whom one son and one daughter preceded her in death.
Mr. Graham was also a pioneer of this section and in the days before Rockdale was founded he often hunted and killed deer in the forest where the town new stands, and later split and hauled logs from land that is now wide Cameron street in the Business district
Mrs. Graham had lived on the present homesite for a period of 86 years. Through her near ninty (sic) years she had followed the changing eras from ox-drawn wagons, horse and buggy travel over rugged roads, etc. on down to paved highways with modern travel, and other improvements, and she continued to be keenly in tune with the times of today.
In 1922, Mr. and Mrs. Graham celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at the family home in the midst of their children, grandchildren and a host of friends.
