Girl Leaves Record Of Cheer
AfterLonq Bruin I umor Illness

Multiple brain tumors compli-
Gated the life of Carole Graeves,
frustrated her ambitions and
finally, on Tuesday, caused her
death. But the tiny 16-year-old
Silver Spring girl never COM
planned about her illness.
She had been sick of and on
for six years and undergone
many radium treatments and
two brain operations at Walter
Reed Hospital, the hospital where
she was born.
Carole. whose full name was
Ivie Carole Barr Graeves, was a
10-year-old school girl in Brus-
sells, Belgium when she was first
stricken and flown to Walter
Reed. In 1851, she underwent her
first brain tumor operation, and
then went back to Belgium,
where her father was with the
Military Assistance Advisory
Group.
Carole'S father, Col. r. Bernard
Graeves was assigned to the
Pentagon in 1852 and Carole
lived in Alexandria. She went
to George Washington High
School, was librarian of Bethel
No. 4 Of Jobs Daughters and was
active in the Methodist Youth
Fellowship Of Trinity Methodist
Church.
Stricken Again in 1855
1t was in 1855. while living
in Fort Leayenworth, Kans.,
that Carole with stricken again.
After more treatments at Walter
Reed. she went back to Leaven-
worth and was graduated with
a B average from the 10th grade.
AT the post she was active in
the Army Brats Club.
A year ago, Carole returned
to Walter Reed for another brain
tumor operation. She recovered
but was stricken again a few
months later. This time she was
flown in a respirator to the hos
pital, paralyzed from the neck
down.
Carole had wanted to be a.
fashion designer for small wom-
en-. She herself weighed only 90I
pounds and was 5 feet tall. Be-
fore she was paralyzed. she used
to design and make her own
clothes. Afterwards she was con-
tent to have fashion magazines
shown and read to her. Another
source of entertainment was her
TV set and the many cards from
well-wiShers that she had her
mother keep in Scrapbooks.
Suffers in Secret
Carole became the pet" of
Walter Reed. No matter how
much she suffered-doctors told
her parents she was evidently in
much more pain than she ever
let on-Carole never complained.
When asked how she was. the
dark-haired girl with dark ex-I
pressive eyes would smile and
Say, Just finel" Nurses curled
Carole's hair, painted her toe
nails and were happy to play
rock and roll records for her on
her photograph.
Seven months ago, Carolel
asked to go home.
Carole was with her family
