MAJ.
THOMAS GRAHAM, son of Thomas Graham, hotel keeper, was a
practical joker—a man of the world. He was a resident of Mercer for
fifty-four years, and was, at the time of his death, which occurred on
the 3d of January, 1871, sixty-three years of age. In the language of
Mr. [William Swan] Garvin, a warm personal friend, he was “possessed of
a vigorous mind, ready and pungent wit and general good sense. He
was a recognized leader of the Democracy of Mercer County, firm and
reliable in prosperity and adversity.”
