Mary's Ottumwa Courier obituary did not mention or name her husband; all that is known is that her married surname was "Graves". The middle name can be found as "Alice" in some sources, but it is "Alyce" on her headstone inscription and her own obituary. Her inscription is on the joint headstone of her mother Jennie and step-father Luther H. Fear in Evergreen cemetery at Fairfield, where she was buried in the same plot area. Because of that, her maiden surname was mistaken for "Fear" instead of "Ratcliff" in some cemetery notations. ---------- Ottumwa Courier Thursday, May 1, 2003 Pg. 4 Col. 2 Mary Alyce Graves OTTUMWA - Mary Alyce Graves, 78, of 402 Tacoma died 5 a.m. April 27, 2003, at the University Hospitals, Iowa City.
