Milton Graham, M.D., the son of J.A. Graham of Rose Hill Township and County Judge was the first native of Foster County to obtain a medical degree and practice locally. He was a graduate of the University of North Dakota and Chicago Medical College. He started his practice in Carrington with Dr. McClusky after he had passed the North Dakota State Medical Board Examination in July 1916. He was the first to perform an operation in the Carrington Hospital only a few days after it began admitting patients. He volunteered for service in the Army in May 1916 and served for the duration of the war in the Second Regiment Hospital Corps. He did not return to his practice in Carrington but with some other Medical Corps doctors established a practice in Aberdeen, WA.
