General Notes: Husband - Samuel Graham
He was born in Buffington township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and what education he acquired was obtained in the subscription schools there. He became very well-to-do, becoming the owner of a farm of 400 acres, followed farming and stock raising rather extensively, and also ran a sawmill and did considerable lumbering. During his residence in Buffington he was one of its most active citizens, serving as justice of the peace (fifteen years), tax collector, auditor and supervisor; he was also a leading member of the M. E. Church there, and held the offices of steward and trustee. In the fall of 1872 he went west to Cozad, Nebraska, and bought a farm of 640 acres on which he carried on farming on a large scale, also becoming extensively interested in stock raising. There he passed the remainder of his life.
