   MILTON E. GRAVES.  A native of Newton County, Milton E. Graves has 
for a number of years been in the successful practice of law at Morocco.
He has both the learning and industry requisite for success in this 
profession and has already handled a large amount of important litigation
on behalf of his clients.
   He represents one of the older families of Newton County.  He was 
born there July 31, 1883, a son of Harvey M. and Louise (Archibald)
Graves.  His father was a native of Ohio and brought his family to 
Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where he acquired a large farm.  The 
grandfather also came to Indiana, and Harvey was the fourth in a 
family of nine children, three of whom are now deceased.  Harvey
Graves lived in Tippecanoe County until his removal to Newton County, 
and here he became an early settler in Beaver Township.  He lived there
for twenty-five years, and besides the material prosperity accumulated
by his judicious efforts he also gained a wealth of esteem as an upright
citizen and kindly neighbor.  He was a consistent member of the
Christian Church and a republican in politics.
   Milton Graves grew up on his father's farm.  That gave him a valuable
physique and wholesome environment and outlook upon life.  He attended
common schools, and from 1905 to 1907 was a student in Valparaiso 
University.  Studying law Mr. Graves was admitted to the Indiana bar in 
l908 and has since been in the active practice of his profession at 
Morocco.
   On January 20, 1911, Mr. Graves was married in St. Louis, Missouri
to Miss Blanche Myers.  Mr. and Mrs. Graves have one daughter, Ethel L., born
November 12, 1902.
