General Notes: Husband - Robert N. Graham


In 1861 he enlisted in Company I, Seventh Iowa Infantry Regiment. He took part in the Fort Donelson, Pittsburgh Landing, and all the battles in which his regiment was engaged, being wounded at Fort Donelson. He was first lieutenant, acting captain at the time of expiration of his three years' term of enlistment. He re-enlisted in the Sixth United States Veterans, and at the close of the war was stationed at Washington, D. C. In this capacity he was a participant in the gruesome closing of the final tragedies of the war. He was in the detail that guarded the prison in which the Lincoln assassination conspirators were confined, and guarded the scaffold when Herrold, Atzerott, and Mrs. Surratt were executed, and later when Wirz, the keeper of the Andersonville prison, shared the same fate.
