General Notes: Husband - Walter L. Graham

---

He was educated in the public schools, at Witherspoon Institute and at Jefferson College, and was grad-uated from the latter institution in 1854. He entered upon the study of law with Samuel A. Purviance and completed his course of reading under Attorney Charles G. Sullivan, and in 1855 he was admitted to the bar. For many subsequent years he continued in the active practice of his pro-fession, both at Pittsburg and at Butler. In 1860, on account of his zeal for the prin-ciples embodied in the Republican party, he was selected as one of the delegates to the National Republican Convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for the Presi-dency of the United States. During his whole life he was public-spirited and as president of the borough council he advo-cated progress and reform. In 1862 he en-listed in Company G, Fourteenth Pennsyl-vania Militia, and assisted in repelling the invasion of the Confederates under Gen-eral Lee. Under Governor Andrew G. Curtin, he subsequently served three years as a notary public. He was a leading member of the Presbyterian Church and a member of the local board of trustees.
