GRAHAM, A. H.
The sad intelligence was received here Tuesday, that Prof. A. H. Graham had died at Knightstown, Ind., after a second stroke of paralysis. The deceased had visited Nicholasville several times as the guest of his daughter, Mrs. E.B. Hoover, and made a most excellent impression upon those with whom he met. Prof. A.H. Graham was about 65 years of age, and had been a public man most of his life. He served four years in the Union army, being with Gen. Sherman on his march to the sea. At the close of the war, he became identified with the High School at Columbus, Ind., and was superintendent of this school for over twenty years. In 1891, he was appointed by the governor of Indiana as superintendent of the State Sailors and Soldiers Orphans Home at Knightstown and had been head of this large institution since that date. As evidence of his capability to manage this institution of over 800 people, neither democratic or republican governors would permit him to resign. He was a devout member of the Presbyterian church, a Knight Templar of high rank and a cultured christian gentleman. His remains were placed in the family vault at Columbus on Thursday. His widow, Mrs. Nina Graham, his son, Dr. Paul Graham, and his daughter, Mrs. Everett B. Hoover, survive him.
