Harry Edward Graham was born May 16, 1906 at Boelus, NE., the son of Fred and Effie Palmer Graham. Harry started his early education at Council Bluff, IA and attended several other schools.

On August 16, 1929 he was united in marriage to Mildred M. Halverstadt at Broken Bow, NE. The couple resided north of Cozad and northwest of Hershey until their move into Hershey in 1972.

Harry farmed for 45 years raising corn and sugar beets and feeding hogs and cattle. He also carried mail for five years, drove school bus at Hershey for several years, and worked for Olson Fertilizer until he was 80 years old.
