Born 1860
From A twentieth century history of Berrien County, Michigan (1906)
HARRY K. GRAHAM, who follows farming on section 24, Oronoko township, and is one of its native sons, was born February 22, 1860, his parents being George and Mary (Garrow) Graham, who are mentioned on another page of this work. The home farm in Oronoko township remained his playground in youth and his training school for life's practical duties. His mental discipline, however, was obtained in the district schools and at Urbana University, at Urbana, Ohio. Returning to his home on the completion of his education Harry K. Graham became a clerk in a general store in Berrien Springs and he afterward spent eight years in southeastern Kansas, clerking for two years in a store, while during the remainder of the period he was engaged in farming and stock-raising. Returning at the end of that time to Berrien Springs he once more became connected with agricultural interests in this county and located upon his present farm in Oronoko township. He has here one hundred and eighty-five acres of land well adapted to the raising of grain, fruit and stock, and his farm is well equipped for these different departments of agricultural life. He has a each orchard of fifteen acres and considerable other fruit, including ten acres of apples. His fields are carefully tilled and he has good stock upon his place. In fact the farm is equipped with all modern conveniences, including the latest improved machinery and everything about the place is indicative of the spirit of enterprise which characterizes the owner and has led him to accomplish desired results in a useful business career.
On the 31st of December, 1.89 1, Mr. Graham was married to Miss Mary E. Dunn, a daughter of Edward and Mary Dunn. She was born in Berrien county, Michigan, in April, 1862, and by her marriage has become the mother of one son and two daughters, Mary, James and Edith, all at home. Neglectful of none of the duties of citizenship, Mr. Graham has contributed to the advancement of various plans for the general good and he votes with the Republican party, believing its principles most conducive to good government. He has taken the Master Mason degree in Berrien Springs lodge and in all life's relations is recognized as a man whose good traits of character far outnumber those on the reverse side and he is therefore well worthy the esteem and trust of his fellow townsmen.
