Individual Details
James Graham West
(1855 - 1914)
HEADSTONES says James Graham was born in 1849 but he is not with the family in the 1850 Census. I suspect he was born after Jun 1, 1850.
The 1860 Census, lists his age as 5, or born in 1855; I suspect this is more likely correct.
Married Eudora Sangster, b. 1856, d. 1941. She is buried in Oliver Springs Cemetery along with James Graham and her 2nd husband Frank Wright. A son of James G. and Eudora was Berkley West, 1895-1924.
