General Notes: Husband - Dr. George S. Graham


He received a limited education in the common schools. At an early age he began working with a farmer named Stevenson (of Somerset township), and also lived for some time with Dr. Boyd Emery, of Somerset township. He then resided in Morrow County, Ohio, with an uncle, Thomas Graham, remaining there for some time, but wishing to secure a more extensive education finally returned to his native county, and entered Cross Creek Academy (where his father had also been a student), remaining in that institution one year. He then took a three-year's course at the Bethany Academical Institute, under Dr. Marshall, afterward entered Jefferson College at Canonsburg, PA, where he was a student at the beginning of the Civil war. He enlisted Sunday, April 27, 1861, in Company D, Tenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Reserve Corps. He was mustered in at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, thence proceeding with his regiment to Washington, D. C. His regiment was attached to the First Army Corps, under command of Gen. McDowell, and was later attached to the Fifth Corps, serving through the Peninsular campaign. Our subject served in all the campaigns, marches and engagements of his regiment during his term of engagement. Their first engagement was at Drainesville, Virginia. He remained in active service until his regiment was mustered out June 12, 1864, when he received an honorable discharge, and returned to his native county. After the war he began the study of medicine, and entered Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, graduating March 10, 1866. In the following June he came to Florence, Hanover township, Washington County, where he practiced his chosen profession. Politically he was for years a leader of the Republican party in Hanover township, and never missed an election during his residence in the county. In 1884 he was elected to the Legislature, serving during 1884-85. Dr. and Mrs. Graham were active members of the Presbyterian Church, and he was a member of the Session.
