James D. Graber M.D. Monument is an Obelisk Monument just North of Steinsville. It is North of Kings Highway on Blue Mountain House Road on the West side of the highway out on the edge of farmland. There is also a small Shantie (Stone Shack)just East of this monument on West side of Blue Mountain House Rd.
Dr. James D. Graber was born in Berks County, PA, June 19th 1845, and received the elementary portion of his education in the schools of his native place. After graduating from high school and having in the meantime decided to adopt medicine as his profession, he entered, with this end in view, Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York City, from which institution he was subsequently graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1870. Immediately after receiving his degree he moved to Steinsville, where he established himself in the practice of his profession and carried on a successful practice here until 1887, when he removed to Trappe, and two years later removed to Royersford, where he resided until his death, which occurred October 17, 1919. He married Emma E. Keeler, a native of Hanover township. Mrs. Graber resides with their only son, Henry Graber, whose name heads this review. This short review is a tribute to the memory of a man whose characteristics were great mental and physical strength associated with modesty, kindliness of heart and high ideals. He was free from professional commercialism, and his influence was always exerted for good. He had an instinctive love for his work and he never swerved from duty nor from truth. He measured up to the full stature of a man and to the height of an able, earnest, devoted physician.
