General Notes: Husband - James Brown Graham

---

He obtained his education in the local public schools, but his advantages in that line were none too liberal. He learned the trade of carpenter with William Keys, of Janesville, Pennsylvania, with whom he remained one year, after which he was engaged as a journeyman, being in the employ of Gering & Miller for a time. He then returned to the home place, and settled there permanently when his father moved to the West, buying the property in 1873. Altogether he had six hundred acres in Buffington township and 180 acres in Cambria County (the latter purchased from the J. W. Duncan heirs), where he ran a sawmill and engaged to a considerable extent in lumbering, the Red Mill belonging to this property. He carried on milling in connection with his general farming and stock raising operations. In his earlier years Mr. Graham also did contracting and building.
At one time he met with a serious accident, cutting himself with an ax, which incapacitated him for three years, during which time his wife proved herself a capable and loyal helpmate, looking after affairs until he was able to resume work. His fellow citizens chose him to fill various local positions, and he gave service as justice of the peace (which office he held fifteen years), notary public (twelve years), tax collector, township auditor and member of the election board. Politically he was a Republican.
In 1864, when seventeen years old, Mr. Graham enlisted in Company I, 206th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served to the close of the war, receiving his discharge June 27, 1865.
