Edwards, Rev. Jonathan. "An Illustrated History of Spokane County, State of Washington." San Francisco: W. H. Lever, 1900. p. 442. FRANK HYDE GRAVES of the law firm of Graves & Graves, is a native of Hancock county, Illinois, born June 15, 1858. He was reared on a farm in St. Mary's township, of that county, and attended a country school in the winter months till he entered Carthage College in 1876. Graduating in 1880, he was admitted to the bar of Illinois in 1882 and entered upon the practice in Carthage, Illinois, as a member of the firm of O'Hana & Graves. He came to this state late in the year 1884 and began the practice of his profession in Spokane in January, 1885. In January, 1886, the firm of Houghton & Graves was formed, and a year later the firm became Houghton, Graves & Jones and so continued till the spring of 1890. At that date the firm was dissolved by the retirement from practice of Judge Houghton, and by Mr. Jones' election as attorney-general of the state. Mr. Graves and Judge Turner then formed the firm of Turner & Graves, which continued till Judge Turner was elected to the United States senate in February, 1896. That spring Mr. Will G. Graves removed to Spokane from Ellensburg, and the firm became Graves & Graves and has so continued to the present. Mr. Graves early took rank in the courts of Spokane and adjoining counties as a trial lawyer and to-day is one of the leading advocates of the state. For years he has commanded a large and lucrative practice and he and his brother now have a famous business. Politically Mr. Graves was a Republican till 1896. In the campaign of that year he enthusiastically supported Bryan as a silver Republican, and is now an ardent Democrat, as he himself puts it, "of the Bryan type." From the fall of 1897 to December, 1899, he was principal stockholder in the Seattle Post Intelligencer. He is now treasurer, the second largest stockholder and a controlling spirit in the Central Navigation & Construction Company; a member of the board of trustees and largest stock-holder in the Columbia Railway & Navigation Company. The object of these two companies, working together, is to connect Spokane with the sea by an independent line and the work is far forward. Mr. Graves was a heavy stockholder in the famous Le Roi mine and for years a member of its board and its attorney. At present he is interested in the City of Paris, Old Ironsides and Knob Hill mines in the Greenwood country. His brother, Mr. Jay P. Graves, and he control the extensive Granby Smelting Works at Grand Forks, British Columbia. In September, 1882, he was married to Miss Maude Ferris, of Carthage. They have two children, Carroll S., born in 1883, and Arnold London, born in 1893. ******************* Submitted to the Washington Biographies Project in April 2008 by Diana Smith.
