and who narrowly escaped the terrible Whitman massacre with his family, he

Walla Mrs. Graham resided in Oregon at different points until about six years 
ago when she came to Payette from John Day. She leaves to mourn her loss five 
sons and two daughters. Of her sons three reside in Payette, being Frank 
Hampton and Charles and Ira Haner.
