         GRAVESVILLE
         
         Gravesville has about 400 inhabitants, and also had for
       several years strong hopes of being selected as the county
       seat. LEROY GRAVES settled here in 1849, and made it his
       particular business to see that his village was not for-
       gotten. In 1854 and 1855 when Chilton Center and Chilton
       were having their contention, he nearly gained his point.
       In 1849 Mr. GRAVES erected a saw-mill. He removed to Fond
       du Lac in 1866. Besides several good general stores Graves-
       ville contains a saw and planing mill and a furniture fac-
       tory. The Charlestown Grange holds its meetings here. One
       of the oldest lodges of Good Templars in the county still
       flourishes in Gravesville.
