General Notes: Husband - Joseph H. Graham


He was reared on a farm, and educated in the common schools. By industry and economy, he was able to make for himself a fair start in life; close attention to business rendered him successful. He followed farming principally, though he kept hotel for two years in the village of St. Joe. This oil town, once quite a stirring place, but later extinct, was built upon Mr. Graham's farm. After 1875, he was engaged in oil production, in addition to the management of his farm. After he became the owner of the farm on which he lived, he erected a fine large barn, which good judges pronounced the best in the township; and, in 1881, he built a large and elegant residence which was his home.
