Graves was born in Chestertown, New York, on March 16, 1873. During the Klondike gold rush in 1898, he traveled from California to Alaska and went to Dawson in the Yukon Territory. After returning to the coast, he spent several years in Skagway, where he operated a men's clothing store.

He was engaged in the fur business and, for a number of years, worked in the men's department of the Goldstein Department Store. Around 1914, he opened his own men's clothing store, the H. S. Graves store on South Franklin Street, which he operated for nearly four decades.
In January 1953, he sold the business to Bill Matheny. A few months later, in May 1953, Graves and his wife left Juneau to make their home near their daughter on Long Island, New York.
