General Notes: Husband - Henry Graff

---

He was quite young when his parents moved to Blairsville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and there he grew to manhood and received his education. With his father he acquired a thorough knowledge of the mercantile business and in time became a member of the firm of John Graff & Sons, with which he was connected until 1854. That year he went West, settling in Holmes County, Ohio, where he bought a farm and carried on agricultural work for over twenty years, living there until 1868. Selling out, he returned to his old home in Pennsylvania, and buying the Bennett farm near Hillside, Westmoreland County, devoted himself to the cultivation and improvement of that property for some time. When he sold it he moved to Blacklick township, Indiana County, where he bought another farm, upon which place he made extensive improvements during the years he was engaged in its cultivation. Later he bought another farm, the place upon which he spent the remainder of his life, carrying on general farming and stock raising.
He was a prominent member of the M. E. Church at Blacklick. He joined that denomination in 1856, while living in Holmes County, Ohio, and for forty-three years he "fought the fight and kept the faith," being a devoted worker all his life. He served as class leader, steward and trustee, and in other church positions, taking great delight and interest in religious activities. He was a stanch Republican in politics.
