General Notes: Husband - John A. Graham

---

He was afforded better educational opportunities than many of his acquaintances enjoyed and after leaving the local schools he pursued a course of study at Witherspoon Institute at Butler, and subsequently taught school at Petersville and later in Ohio. In 1861 he enlisted as a soldier in the Union Army and served until the close of the war, in Company G, Twenty-seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He returned to Butler County and resumed farming and in 1878 he went to Kansas. He took up a homestead, on which he lived for fourteen years, but hard work brought on ill health and on February 15, 1889, he was prostrated by a stroke of paralysis and then returned to his native township. He purchased a farm and resided on it thereafter. In politics, he was a Republican and he served as constable, assessor and school director.

Another source: he enlisted in an Ohio regiment and served four years in the Civil War, entering as a private and being discharged with the rank of first lieutenant.
