Graves William C 451116 p1
Goat Herder Found Dead in Canyon Home; A lonely life came to a lonely end for William C. Graves, whose body was
found in his Hospital Canyon Cabin west of Vernalis last week. Graves had resided there for the past 35 years, engaging
in raising goats, and his death had probably occuried three weeks previous, judging from calendar dates marked off and
the condition of the remains. The body was brought to the Evans Funeral chapel and thence to the Manteca cemetery
Friday for graveside services. The deceased was born in Lathrop 65 years ago and had resided in this area all his life.  He
is survived by five sisters and one brother, all California residents.
