General Notes: Husband - William James Graham

---

He was born in Buffington township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and there received a public school education, attending the Grove school. He worked with his parents helping to cultivate the home farm until 1899, when he took a position in the round-house of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Conemaugh, being employed there two years. He next worked at Milton Gamble's sawmill, and afterward for Kate Walters for a number of years. Then he learned the trade of carpenter with Highland & Patterson, the contractors. Upon the death of his father he returned to the home place and settled down to farming, buying out the other heirs. He owned and operated 205 acres in all, his grandfather's farm of 120 acres and his father's place of eighty-five acres. He carried on general farming, including the growing of small fruits, teaming and lumbering, his various interests yielding him a most comfortable income. Like his father he took considerable interest in politics as a member of the Republican party, and was judge and inspector of elections. He also served as clerk of his township. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
