General Notes: Husband - George Graham

---

He became an early contractor and builder, and in 1874 formed the firm of Graham & Cook, purchasing their factory building, and did a large business in steam planing, sawing, and manufacturing all grades of sash, doors, blinds, shingles, and oil rig materials.
He was drafted in 1862 for nine months, and served in Company B, One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania Regiment, under Colonel L. W. Smith, of Pittsburgh.

He grew up on his father's farm, received a public school education, learned the trade of carpenter, and was a pilot on the Allegheny river. He served in the Civil War as a member of Company B, One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania Regiment, and after the close of his term of service returned to Brady's Bend, Pennsylvania, where he re-entered the employ of the Brady's Bend Iron Company as a carpenter. He was later made master mechanic and superintendent of construction. On the failure of the Iron Company he engaged in the lumber business at Brady's Bend with Judge A. Cook, of Cooksburg, and in 1874 removed to East Brady, where the lumber and planing mill business was operated on a larger scale and under the firm name of Graham, Forcht & Company, later Graham & Cook, until 1890, when he sold his lumber interests to his son, Newton E.
