Yountsville - Last Saturday morning the people of this neighborhood were startled on hearing of the death of James F. Graham, at his home two miles west of the village. He had been in usual health, but death came, as a result of heart trouble. James Graham was born at Covington, Fountain county, Indiana Jan. 10, 1843, and while young moved to Logansport, Ind., and lived there until he came to this county in 1869, and died April 20, 1902, aged 50 years, 3 months and 16 days. He married Sarah Wilcox in 1871 and unto them were born three children, Edward, Squire and Katie. Mrs. Graham, two sons, a daughter in-law and grand daughter, with a host of relatives and friends are left to mourn his loss. Katie, a beautiful daughter, preceded her father a year ago, Mr. Graham united with the Yountsville M. E church June 2, 1901, and was received into the same December 1, 1901, ever living an earnest and faithful member. He was a conscientious, kind, good man, respected and honored by all who knew him. His work and life in the church these last ten months has rested in all hearts in this community. The funeral was held in the M. E. church, and the body was laid to rest in the Wesley cemetery by the side of his beloved daughter. - thanks to Kim H for this one
