Obituary:

Mrs. Julia N. Graham was born in Jackson Co., Ohio on July 10, 1846, and died at her home in El Dorado Springs, Mo. on January 19, 1932, having arrived at the age of 85 yrs, 6 mo's, and 19 days. She was united in Holy Matrimony with Mr. Silas Graham in the year 1864, and to this union were born eleven children, of which five preceded her in death. Of the six children surviving there are three boys and three girls, namely: John James Graham of Missoula, Mont., Mrs. Francis Smith of Kearney, Neb., Mrs. Grace Mosbarger of Chicago, Mrs. Louisa Smith of Chicago, Albert Graham of Leavenworth, Kansas, and Alfred Graham of El Dorado Springs. Her husband preceded her in death about nineteen years ago.

She united with the Christian church in her youth, and in 189_, while in Harrison Co., Mo., she united with the Evangelical church, and on February S1, 189_, she united with the Methodist Episcopal church of which she remained a loyal and faithful member until the end. She occupied her accustomed place in church on Sunday morning before her passing at Tuesday noon following. In addition to being a loyal and faithful church member, she was a good citizen, a kind and considerate friend to many, and a good neighbor. Because of what she was, and the life she lived in this community for these many years, a host of friends will long hold her memory dear, as well as the above named children, forty-one grandchildren, fifty five great grand children, and other relatives. Funeral services were held in the local Methodist Episcopal church, Thursday afternoon January 21, 1932 and conducted by Rev. A. B. Schowengerdt speaking on the text: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7., which she herself had requested be used at her funeral. Truly these words were very appropriate and justly applicable to her. Miss Phyllis M. Schowengerdt sang the following hymns as request numbers, accompanied by Mrs. Ed Gettys at the piano, namely: "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," "Shall we gather at the River," "Is My Name Written There" and "Meet Me There." Burial was in the city Cemetery.

Personal visit to cemetery, October 14, 2003 - Steve Dahlstrom]
Although Hixon records the gravestone of Sonora Graham, a visit to the cemetery did not find a marker. It is probable that it is missing, given the space between the marker for Celinda Graham, the second wife of her grandfather, and Nancy J. Graham, her half-aunt.
