A life-long resident of White County, John Graves comes from substantial pioneer stock, his father James Graves, having been an early settler of Monon Township a, and for many years intimately associated with the promotion of agricultural interests of his neighborhood. He was born April 18, 1847, on the old Sheets farm, in Monon Township, being the oldest child of the parental household now living. James Graves was born and reared in Coshocton County, Ohio where he grew to man's estate. In 1838 he came with his wife to Monon Township, White County, moving here from Tippecanoe County, where he had spent the previous year, making the journey from Ohio to this state with teams. Taking up a tract of wild land, he improved a farm of eighty acres and continued his residence in Monon Township until his death, January 6, 1873. He married, in Ohio, Christina Potter, a native of Pennsylvania, and of the eight children that brightened their union but three are now, in 1915, living, as follows: John' James' and Mrs. Catherine Culp of White County. The mother lived to a good old age dying January 26, 1894, and being buried beside her husband, in Monon Chapel. Receiving a substantial common school education, John Graves, who was a wide awake, industrious youth, started in life for himself when but eighteen years of age, embarking in business as a cattle dealer. Subsequently investing in land, he carried on farming and stock-growing until about 1905, when he voted to Monon, where he has since lived, retired, practically, from agricultural pursuits, although he farms some with his son, and performs such odd tasks as come his way. He, following in the footsteps of his father, is identified with the democratic party, but has never sought political favors. Mr. Graves married, October 17, 1869, Susan Webb, daughter of John and Martha (Long) Webb, who came from Wabash County to White County in the early ‘50s, settling in Monon Township. Eight children have been born into the household of Mr. And Mrs. Graves, namely; Lilly, wife of Louis Cooley; Jess, of Pulaski County; Martha, wife of Tom Newbold; Rosie, who married Edward Rogers, died in early womanhood; Mary, deceased; Samuel, engaged in farming; Asa, a traveling salesman; and Clyde, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Graves are members of the Presbyterian Church at Monon.
