- 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.

The regiment was assigned to the defense of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newburn and as a post guard on board vessels of war along the Atlantic coast. The regiment participated in many operations from the stand against Petersburg and Richmond, VA., in May of 1864 to the fall of Petersburg on April 2, 1865. Real action started for Corporal Mabee and the members of the regiment from May 5, 1834, when they were before Petersburg, and they were again thrown into the assault of Petersburg shortly after this date, continuing in the vicinity for the most part until April 1865. Corporal Mabee was in skirmishes at Swift Creek, NC, Oct 7, 1864; Day’s Point, VA, from November 14 to 19; Fort Fisher, NC, from December 25 to Jan 15, 1865, and finally participated in the fall of Petersburg April 2, 1865. An aggregate of 162 enlisted men was lost during the regiment’s term of service and following the strenuous siege of Petersburg, Corporal Mabee was detailed as a guard on a mail boat plying between Norfolk, VA and Roanoke, Island. He was promoted to the position of Corporal and was honorably discharged at the close of the war on July 19, 1865."
