Mr. Graves was a pioneer, and came from a pioneer family. His first ancestor in this country was Captain Thomas Graves, who came from London in 1607 and acquired a plantation in Virginia, on the James River. His father, Major Reuben Graves, moved to Boone County, KY, in 1797. Mr. Graves possessed the typical pioneer traits, sterling mental qualities, high moral worth and great physical strength. He always lived a healthy, vigorous and useful life, and his work and example were for good.
