- Richland County, Chapter XXVII, Town of Marshall, Biographical
- Charles, son of John and Susanna (POOLE) GRAHAM, was born
in Cambridgeshire, England,
- Jan. 16, 1834, and came to America with his parents. They
at first llocated at East Troy, but remained there only a short
time, going from there to Palmyra, Jefferson county, where he
engaged in railroading for one year. They then moved to the town
of Milton in Rock county, where his father rented a farm. In
1852 his father died, and in November, 1855, he came to Richkland
county and located on section 35. He was unmarried at the time,
and boarded with his brother-in-law, James WARD, until 1858.
He was married in that year, to Sarah E. STANBAUGH, who was born
in York Co., Penn. He built a hewed log house, which four years
later was consumed by fire with all of its contents. The neighbors
generously turned out, and tow days later, another hewed log
house was erected, in which the family resided until 1882, when
he built the neat frame house which they now occupy. Mr. and
Mrs. GRAHAM have six children - James C., Charles W., Lydia F.,
Arthur E., Lucy E. and Sarah E.
