Daughter of Charles Barefoot Graves and Lucinda Elizabeth Dent
In about 1871 Eliza's family moved to Texas with their family, in a wagon, having sold their possessions and put the proceeds in silver and gold, which they carried in a small doll trunk. They settled about four miles northeast of Springtown, Parker Co., TX, on the C. B. Graves Survey, of 132 acres. Here they chopped the timber and put in a farm of about 50 acres and fenced it with split rails, since it was before the time of barbed wire. They were members of the Baptist Church at Pleasant Grove (now Opal), in the Tarrapin Neck Community. About 1890 they moved to Springtown, on a three-acre tract on the east side of town.
They were in the 1900 census for Springtown, Parker Co., TX, when all of her siblings were still living, and Charles was a farmer. The family of her sister, Catherine, was living nearby.
Both her younger brothers left Texas and went to Oklahoma about 1907, when it became a state, and that is where they both died a year later in 1908.
Eliza married John Byrd Houser in March 1869. They had five children, one of which died at age 8.
