Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   B. W. Graham, farmer, Covington, was born in Madison county, Ohio, June 21,
1819, and is the son of James and Jane (Snodgrass) Graham, who were natives of
Kentucky; and came from Ohio to Parke county, Indiana, in 1822, where they
remained one year, after which they came to Fountain county and settled in what
is now Wabash township, on what is now known as Graham's creek. His father was
born January 10, 1797, and died in this county in 1879. His wife was born in
1795, and died in about 1873. The subject of this sketch is probably as old a
settler as now lives in Fountain county, having spent a life of usefulness in
the way of improving and building up that part of the county in which he lives.
He has always been engaged in farming, and has accumulated a fine property of
200 acres of well improved land. In 1842 he married Miss Ruth Crane, daughter of
Moses and Susanah Crane, who came to the county about 1835. Mr. Graham's family
are: Oliver, Byron J., Almira J., Julia A. and Marietta. Three deceased: Oliver,
Milford and Monroe.
