Son of James Harvey Graham, M.D., and Mary Jane (Brown) Graham; born at Oquawka, Illinois, January 25, 1851;
made profession of his faith on June 4, 1870, in connection with the Second Church, Monmouth, 111.; was graduated from Monmouth College in 1874; entered the Allegheny Theological Seminary and remained one session, completing his course at the Xenia Seminary; was licensed April 13, 1876, by the Presbytery of Keokuk; was ordained September 6, 1876, by the same Pres-
bytery. He was pastor at Birmingham, Iowa, from the time of his ordination until April 5, 1880; then removing to Omaha, Neb., he was the pastor of the First Church of that city from May 13, 1880, to September 21, 1888, when he resigned in order to give his whole time to "The Midland" which he had purchased and removed from St. Louis in 1886. From September1888, till September 1897, he devoted himself to the editing of " The Midland," residing in Omaha till the beginning of 1895, when he removed to Chicago, and soon after transferred the publication office of his paper to that city. On September 1, 1897, he took charge, temporarily, as stated supply of the congregation at Sioux City, Iowa, but continued as the responsible editor of "The Midland." He was thus engaged at the time of his death. He was the author of "In the Coils," a popular and instructive book of fiction founded on fact, written against secretism. In his early ministry, he published a pamphlet
entitled, " The Conscious Existence of a Soul After Death," written in answer to the Adventists, with whom he had been in controversy. He was moderator of the Synod of Iowa in 1883, and of the Synod of Nebraska in 1887. A few years before his death, he was the Prohibition nominee for Lieutenant Governor of Nebraska. On June 1, 1876, he was married to Miss Eliza Moores Lourie, of Keokuk, Iowa. His wife and three daughters survive him. He died suddenly on September 7, 1898, at his home in Sioux City, Iowa, from heart failure.
