Second of 5 children born to Richard and Mary Woodcock Graham. Information on George has been very difficult to find. He came to Utah with his parents in 1862, but his mother died before reaching Zion, somewhere near the Utah/Wyoming border He married Ann Briggs in Salina on December 11, 1873 and their first son, George William was born the following year. In 1875 George's brother Richard was the first settler in Milburn, UT which is very near Fairview. George and his brother John soon followed. His second son James was born in 1876. The following year George passed away. I have not been able to find an exact date or cause for his death. Neither have I found a picture. It was stated in one of the documents I read while doing research that there is no known photo of him remaining today.
