WILL D. R. GRAHAM, son of W. D. R. and Rhoda A. Graham, was born in Covington,
Kentucky, August 20, 1856. His father died when he was but one year of age. Soon
after his father's death his mother came to California, via Panama, and settled
in Marysville. In September, 1862, his mother was again married, to J. W.
Thompson, and a year after they removed to the Illinois ranch, in American
valley. Will lived at home for fifteen years. In 1876 he attended the Heald's
business college at San Francisco. In 1878 he was a candidate on the democratic
ticket for county recorder, but was defeated through a division in his party, by
only seven votes. Since then he has been employed as general manager and
accountant of J. W. Thompson's milling interests in Taylorville. He was married
December 1, 1880, to Miss Eva Richards, daughter of William M. and Jane R. Richards.
