m. Thomas J. Graham in Pickaway Co. Ohio, on Jan 3, 1858, at age 22.

THE HOLTON RECORDER 17 MARCH 1910

The death messenger again entered our community March the 9th, 1910, and called Mrs. Sarah Taylor Graham, who was born March 3, 1836, at Brownsville, Washington county, Pennsylvania.
She moved with her parents, Jonathan and Mary Taylor, to Pickaway county, Ohio, A. D. 1845. She was married to Thomas J. Graham, in March 1858, and to this union were born nine children. She with her husband and children came to Kansas in the year 1880 and settled near Soldier Creek in the west part of Jackson county, and made that her home to the day of her death.
On March 5, 1890 her husband was taken from her by death, and she was left with the care of the home and children resting upon her. But she was courageous and proved herself equal for the responsibility. She has two children who have gone before her, the first, Ann, died in infancy, in 1865 and Mary Graham Lasswell, who died Jan. 1, 1897.
She leaves to mourn her 5 sons, Harlan F., Charles H., Thomas, Harry and Frank, and two daughters, Mrs. Fanny Kroth and Miss Anna Graham, besides a number of grandchildren with many other friends.
She was converted when but a girl and united with the M. E. church in Ohio; although she never placed her membership with any church here in Kansas, she had never given up her faith or hope in the Christian life. Her last illness was short but composed of very great suffering.
The funeral took place from the Olive Hill church, March 11, 1910 at 2 o'clock p.m. and the address was made from the first part of the 5th chapter of 2 Cor. Mr. Frank Kroth, her son-in-law with 5 sons acted as pall bearers and very tenderly carried the remains to its last resting place.
