When she was a child, the family moved to Meadow Grove. Mr. and Mrs. Gradoville were married July 3, 1907, at Meadow Grove. Mr. Gradoville was employed in the maintenance-of-way department of the Union Pacific Railroad, so Mr. and Mrs. Gradoville lived in many communities the first three years of their wedded life. In 1910, the family came to Grand Island to establish a permanent home. Mr. Gradoville died Sept. 4, 1962. Mrs. Gradoville continued to maintain her home until ill health caused her to close it and go to the nursing home. She was a member of the United Methodist Church.
