- McGraw Evans is one of the successful and enterprising farmers of Sheboygan County. His well developed and fine farm is located in Plymouth township where he is engaged in general agricultural pursuits. He was born July 9, 1867, in Plymouth township, Sheboygan county, and bears the name of his grandfather. He was reared in his parents' home and received his early education in the public schools. At the age of twenty-one years he rented his father's farm which he operated until 1904 and later rented the farm adjoining where he now resides. He is engaged in general farming, making a specialty of raising for his own use high grade Holstein cattle.
Mr. Evans was united in marriage, in 1888, to Miss Nina Mabee, a daughter of John and Celeste (Swart) Mabee. The father was born at Hoffmans Ferry, Schenectady county, New York, and is a member of one of the old Holland families who settled at a very early period in the Mohawk valley in the state of New York. On the old homestead the house is still standing which was built many years before the Revolutionary war.
Many of the descendants of the Mabee family were volunteer soldiers in the war for independence. John Mabee, the father of Mrs. Evans, is a veteran of the Civil war, having enlisted in Company E of a New York regiment. At the close of the war he removed to Wisconsin and established his home in Plymouth township. For some little time after taking up his abode in Wisconsin he was employed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company, but later returned to his farm where he remained until 1900, after which time he removed to Plymouth, Wisconsin, and there has since maintained his residence. To Mr. and Mrs. John Mabee two children were born: Nina, who was born September 20, 1869, and is the wife of the subject of this review; and Giles, who is a resident of Plymouth, Wisconsin.
To Mr. and Mrs. McGraw Evans three children have been born: Martha, who is engaged in educational work, and is now pursuing studies in the State Normal School at Oshkosh; and Alice and Sarah, who are both living at home. Mr. Evans and his family are affiliated with the Congregational church of Plymouth. He is one of the influential residents of his county and his aid and cooperation are tangible factors for success in many public enterprises.
