She was born in Roxburyshire, Scotland, Sept. 3, 1815; at the age of fourteen she came with her parents to this country and located in Washington county, N.Y., where, in 1834 she was married to rev. John Graham. They located in Winterset, Iowa, where Rev. Graham died in 1870. For the past four years she has made her home in Quimby with her son, Rev. J. D. Graham.

Mrs. Graham took an active part in church work and in the current events of the day. She was extremely well posted on the political movements, both of this and the old country. She possessed a genial, sunny disposition and notwithstanding the fact that for the last three years she was unable to walk, she was always cheerful and contented.

Her remains were taken to Winterset, Iowa for interment.
