THE HOLTON RECORDER 26 NOV 1925:
Charles Henry, son of Thomas J. and Sarah Graham, was born November 8, 1860, in Fayette county, Ohio. He was the second child in a family of nine children and grew to manhood in his native state.
In 1880 he moved with his parents to Jackson county, Kansas. He chose farming as his occupation. His pride in his choice was shown by the energy he invested in the cultivation of his farm and the improvements of its appearance.
In 1887 he was united in marriage with miss Ella Hill. Their children are Mrs. May Sharlee of Keenesburg, Colo., Frank H. Graham of Wilkinsburg, Penn., Fred T. Graham of Hawkins, Wisc., and Mrs. Grace Mentzer of Holton. The youngest daughter, Mrs. Hila D. Whittaker died in 1924.
In 1910 he sold his farm west of Holton and purchased a farm near Yates Center, Kansas. Her he remained until 1920 when he decided to retire. Selling his farm he moved to Holton where he has resided since.
When but a young man he united with the Olive Hill M. E. church, later transferring his membership to the various places where he lived. he was honest, industrious and conscientious. He possessed a keen sense of duty to his family, a great love for children, and a marked mutual affection existed between himself and his mother.
After an illness of about four months, during which time he was confined to the house, he passed away November 21, 1925, aged sixty-five years and 12 days.
Besides those of his immediate family he leaves ten grandchildren, four brothers, H. F. Graham and Thomas Graham of Holton, harry Graham of Beloit, Frank Graham of Soldier, and two sisters, Mrs. Fannie Kroth of Soldier and Ms. Anna Richardson of Havensville.
Funeral services were held at the family home on Monday afternoon by his friend of many years. The music by a male quartet added much to the comfort and consolation of the bereaved family.
