W. H. Graham is a son of Cornelius and Elizabeth (Alexander) Graham, and was born in Butler county, Pennsylvania, April 26, 1852. Seven years after his birth his parents moved west and settled in Greene county, Wisconsin, where the son received a good common school education. In 1865 they came to Butler county, Iowa, and here Mr. Graham farmed until 1877. At this time he went into the hardware business in company with J. R. Clawson. He was afterward engaged in the drug business for Dudley & Stonebreaker, and in September, 1880, engaged in the general merchandise business on his own account.
