GRAVES, John H., II 74, of Manchester by-the-Sea, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 11th.
John's family is grateful to the staffs of Seasons of Danvers and Care Dimensions for their loving care over the past six months, and to Kaplan Family Hospice House for offering comfort in his final days.
John was a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather and uncle. He was a perpetual tinkerer, an avid reader, and an animal aficionado, with a seemingly boundless curiosity for learning about and mastering any new technology he could get his hands on (including cars, radios, cameras, personal computers and electronics), and a love for collecting new tools and toys he could use to play around with that technology. John was also a dedicated photographer, with a camera constantly strapped around his neck at family functions, studying friends and family through the lens to capture the moment forever.
Professionally, John worked in sales for a variety of companies, often in industries --including automotive, personal computers, and I.T.-- that dovetailed with his personal interests. For the last 25 years of his career, John ran his own computer networking consultancy, Dynamic Devices. But above all, John was a sailor; he was most in his element on the water, with the wind at his back, sunshine on his face, and surrounded always by people he loved. As a youth, John spent many happy afternoons in Boothbay Harbor, ME, on his grandfather's motorboat, "Down Easter" and on his uncle's sailboat "Small Fry". In college, he taught sailing in Annapolis, MD. And eventually, he acquired his own sailboats, "Valhalla" and "Hot Flash." John loved nothing more than sailing with his family.
John was born in 1943 in Princeton, New Jersey. After graduating from high school in Towson, MD, John attended The University of Maryland at College Park. While on summer break from Maryland, John met his future wife, Joanne, in Winchester, MA. They were married in Boston at The Church of Saint John the Evangelist in July 1965. Their first son was born in 1966, and a surprise set of twins followed in 1974.
Late in life, following Joanne's death, John was lucky to find love again. In 2014, he married Catherine "Cathy" Dahlstrom, and spent three happy years together with her in Manchester, joined by their cats Buddy and Peppercorn. John is survived by his wife, Catherine E. Graves, and the children from his marriage to Joanne H. Graves: John H. Graves III & his wife, Helen, of Marion, MA; Margaret M. Graves of Beverly, MA; and Matthew J. Graves of San Francisco; and two grandchildren, Lisa and Paul Graves.
He was predeceased by his first wife Joanne Graves, and by his parents John H. Graves and Katharine Whittier Graves. John is also survived by his brothers and sister: Eben Graves of Norwalk, CT; Thomas Graves of Pottsville, PA; Barbara Graves, and her wife Edy Ambroz, of Florence, MA; Jim Graves and his wife Joyce, of Phoenix, AZ; and by 12 nieces and nephews. John will be missed by Catherine's family as well: Carrie Holtan of Spokane Valley, WA; Ross Dahlstrom and his wife Shannon, of Chelmsford, MA; Beth Wierling and her husband Bob, of Franklin, MA; and by her four grandchildren.
Throughout his life, John was actively involved in organizations related to two of his greatest passions: sailing and amateur (i.e. "ham") radio. John (callsign WA1JG, and before that WB1EHL) was a member of The Cape Ann Amateur Radio Association, the North Shore Radio Association, and the American Radio Relay League. He was a longtime student, educator and leader with the Beverly chapter of the United States Power Squadrons, a maritime organization. John was also actively involved in civic organizations; he was a longtime volunteer with The Manchester Boosters Club; a longstanding member of the Morgansolen Lodge of The Sons of Norway; a member of The Manchester Lions Club; he served as a Committee Chair for Troop 3 of the Boy Scouts of America; and he was an enthusiastic member of The Manchester Club for many years.

Star Chamber proceedings arose in 1552 because his mother had granted him a lease in contradiction of his father's will. His brother Alvery turned him out with violence. His name disappears from records after 1547. The catalogue entry STAC 2/18/211 at the National Archives indicates that the proceedings in fact cover the period 22 April 1509-28 January 1547.1,2

M, #124, b. 2 July 1783, d. 16 August 1861

He married firstly Lydia Maria Sewall, daughter of Chief Justice Samuel Sewall LL.D. and Abigail Devereaux, on 3 May 1812 in Marblehead the service was conducted by the Rev.

Fitted for college at the Academy in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. After graduating he studied divinity with Rev. Jonathan French of Andover, Mass. He preached for several years, but was never ordained as a minister over any society, and he resigned the sacred profession much against his will on account of temporary ill health. He then became a devoted and useful teacher. He was for some time Preceptor of an Academy in Marblehead, he then removed to Boston, where he taught in a private school from 1818 to 1821.
In 1825 he entered into partnership with John Baker, under the firm of Baker & Greele, in the business of manufacturing printing types. This firm was dissolved in 1827, and the next year Mr. Greele took into partnership Mr. Henry Willis, and they continued the business under the firm or Greele & Willis until 1832, when Mr. Greele retired from active business. He was a devoted member of various charitable and benevolent institutions. He was an officiating Deacon in the Federal Street Church for nearly fifty years, first under the ministry of Rev. Dr. Channing and subsequently under Rev. Dr. Gannett. His steady and sincere adherence to the Liberal faith through all the fluctuations of time and opinion was remarkable. He was a faithful worker in the American Unitarian Association. He was elected a Representative from Boston to the State Legislature in 1838, 1840, 1841, 1842 and 1843. He was a member of the Board of Aldermen in Boston in 1834,1835 and 1836.8
Fitted for college at the Academy in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. After graduating he studied divinity with Rev. Jonathan French of Andover, Mass. He preached for several years, but was never ordained as a minister over any society, and he resigned the sacred profession much against his will on account of temporary ill health. He then became a devoted and useful teacher. He was for some time Preceptor of an Academy in Marblehead, he then removed to Boston, where he taught in a private school from 1818 to 1821.
In 1825 he entered into partnership with John Baker, under the firm of Baker & Greele, in the business of manufacturing printing types. This firm was dissolved in 1827, and the next year Mr. Greele took into partnership Mr. Henry Willis, and they continued the business under the firm or Greele & Willis until 1832, when Mr. Greele retired from active business. He was a devoted member of various charitable and benevolent institutions. He was an officiating Deacon in the Federal Street Church for nearly fifty years, first under the ministry of Rev. Dr. Channing and subsequently under Rev. Dr. Gannett. His steady and sincere adherence to the Liberal faith through all the fluctuations of time and opinion was remarkable. He was a faithful worker in the American Unitarian Association. He was elected a Representative from Boston to the State Legislature in 1838, 1840, 1841, 1842 and 1843. He was a member of the Board of Aldermen in Boston in 1834,1835 and 1836.8
