Mr. Graham was 90 years of age and had lived practically all of his long life here. He had been visiting in California only a few days when his death occurred.

Mr. Graham was widely known in this community through his long service in photography, beginning in the early days of that art. He was a member of the Winterset Kiwanis club.

Surviving are two sons, Harry I. Graham of Des Moines and Joseph D. Graham of Winterset; one granddaughter; and the sister, Mrs. Mabel Payton, of Hollywood, California.
