From the Central Union [Westfield, Marquette County, Wisconsin], April 28,
1922

In the death of John W. Graham, a good man has gone to his reward. He was
born in Carroll county, Ohio, Sept. 22, 1832, and died at his home in
Jackson township, Adams county, Wisconsin, April 3, 1922. He is survived by
his wife, who has journeyed by his side for over sixty-three years, and
seven children, all, except two sons in the west, came from their several
homes to be with him and help care for him in his last illness. There are
also eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

He came with his family to Adams county in 1869 and has ever since made
this county his home.

In his long and useful life he has held many offices of trust in his town
and county. Clean speech, honesty and integrity have been his life's
example. As a friend and neighbor John Graham was never found wanting, ever
ready to help those in sickness and poverty whatever their trouble might
be. Sixty-four years ago he gave his heart to God and became a member of
that church of Christ to which faith he has always been loyal.

Funeral services were held at his home April 6, conducted by C. L. Milton
of Milwaukee. Interment was in the little country cemetery near his home.
