General Notes: Husband - John Brown Graham

Butler, Butler Co, PA

He was born on the old family homestead just outside the borough limits of Butler, Pennsylvania. He was reared a farmer, and was educated in the common schools. In connection with the farm his father was engaged in the manufacture of brick, and after John grew to manhood he took charge of that business and continued in it until retir-ing from active life. He located on Main street, Butler, in 1831, on what became known as the Graham property, where he resided for nearly half a cen-tury. He always took an active interest in the prosperity of Butler, and though he never held any public office, was identified with the Whig and Republican parties. He was a life-long member of the Presbyterian church. When the North Western railroad was built, he was one of the original stockholders, and took an active interest in its success.
