297 Mary died when she was 88 years old on July 7, 1951, and was buried at Steven Stafford Cemetery in Walker, Louisiana. 298 Given the name of the cemetery, it is possible she was buried in a family cemetery. Newton Jackson Graham (1862-1927) was the father of Rebecca’s pa- ternal grandfather’s father, Joseph. He was born on July 1, 1862, in Walker, Louisiana, to Isham George Graham (1810-1881) and Eliza Jane Wascom (1824-1902). 299 Isham had come from Ireland along with his brother, Billy Graham (unk-deceased) when they were both young. 300 New- ton had five siblings who survived to adulthood: Francis L. Graham (unk-deceased), Elena Corrine Graham (1858-1932), Tinker Graham (1866- 1955), John Graham (unk-deceased), and Ebb Graham (1854-1929). 301 New- ton was born during the Civil War, and his parents may have known someone who died in the war, as one in eight Caucasian men of fighting 296 "United States Census, 1900," database with images, FamilySearch (https://fami- lysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MS58-XMQ : accessed 17 April 2022), Newton Graham, Wards 1, 8, Livingston, Loui- siana, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) 56, sheet 8A, family 130, NARA microfilm publication T623 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1972.); FHL microfilm 1,240,568. 297 "United States Census, 1910," database with images, FamilySearch (https://fami- lysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MPY4-48R : accessed 17 April 2022), Newton J Graham, Police Jury Ward 8, Living- ston, Louisiana, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) ED 70, sheet 1A, family 8, NARA microfilm publi- cation T624 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1982), roll 518; FHL microfilm 1,374,531. 298 Find a Grave, database and images (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/34953239/mary-graham : accessed 17 April 2022), memorial page for Mary Stafford Graham (12 Dec 1862–7 Jul 1951), Find a Grave Memo- rial ID 34953239, citing Steven Stafford Cemetery, Livingston Parish, Louisiana, USA ; Maintained by Ashley Miz- ell Stafford (contributor 47088610). 299 Edward Livingston Historical Association, History of Livingston Parish, Louisiana. 300 Ibid. 301 Ibid. 79 age died in the war. He likely witnessed considerable stress in his early years and in the aftermath of the Civil War. 302 Newton married Mary Ann Stafford (1862-1951) in 1891, and the couple had at least 9 children. Newton did not learn to read or write. 303 Newton appears to have been a farmer his entire life, as the 1920 census lists his occupation as farmer and that he owned his farm. 304 Since the type of listing is “general farming” it is likely he grew a variety of crops and raised livestock, which provided food and livelihood for his family. Newton died on May 18, 1927, and was buried at Salem Cemetery in Walker, Louisiana. 305 Download 0.91 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
