Ernest Graves marries Martha Hogan in Winthrop, Iowa on November 29, 1922.

Seated in his automobile, 10 feet away in the driveway, were his wife and daughhter, Delores, six years of age. The rain was falling in torrents with an occational flash of lightning.

Hurrying to his side, she discovered he was breathing with difficulty and leaving the daughter with the injured man, Mrs. Graves hurried to a neighbors house, a quarter mile away, and returned with assistance. Mr. Graves was dead when his wife returned. A physician was summoned. The man's clothing was not burned and no burns were found upon his body. Freak Damage by Bolt The corncrib near which he was standing was splintered, but not fired.
