ELSEWHERE NAN WOOD GRAHAM. 91, of MENLO PARK, the model for the tight-lipped farm woman in the painting, "American Gothic," died Friday in a Menlo Park nursing home. 1 The painting caused unhappiness in Cedar Rapids, lowa, in 1930, when Mrs. Graham posed for her brother, Iowa artist Grant Wood. Local women thought Wood was ct poking fun at them.

The painting por- trays a somber, pitchfork-bearing. farmer and his equally somber daughter standing before a cottage. The late Dr. Byron McKeeby of Cedar Rapids posed as the farmer. One woman wrote to say Mrs.

Graft ham's face would "sour milk." But after she came forward, identifying herself as the model, the painting gained acceptance and Wood's popularity soared. Mrs. Graham's popularity also, flourished. If her brother, who died in had used another model as originally planned, the secretarial school graduate said she would have whiled away her days as "the world's worst Ni stenographer." Instead, she once said, "Grant made a personality out of me. I would have 69 had a very drab life without it." Born in Anamosa, lowa, and edu- cated in Cedar Rapids, she married re-9 al estate investor Edward Graham in 1924.

The couple, who had no chil-; dren, lived all over the country, eventually settling in Riverside, Calif. NOT In 1984, widowed and going blind, Mrs. Graham entered the nursing iV home in Menlo Park, ending a lifetime job as historian of her brother's work. 0-E 125 50 Plus is a wide-ranging page, covering subjects such as how to prepare for retirement, coping with the aging process and how to keep busy and healthy after retirement.
