D.C.Graham’s family of origin in Walla Walla, Washington, USA, ca 1890 or 1891. Graham family, left to right: William Edward (the Father), David Crockett, Elmina Elizabeth, Joseph Clark, John Mills (husband of Mary), Mary Louisa. At this point the family had lost their mother and five children in large part to Tuberculosis. Note the change in William Edward Graham’s hair color from 1882 when he was 41 years old to 1890 when he was 49 years old. D.C.Graham’s mother, Elizabeth Atchley Graham, died in 1888, just after her 44th birthday, when he was only 4 years old. His father, William Edward Graham, died in 1904, at age 63, just after D.C. Graham’s 20th birthday. [Chris Hoogendyk, 2021]
