Biography

Clovis was the youngest child born to Robert Daniel Graham and his bride, Sara Elizabeth Casebier. According to his obituary on his findagrave.com memorial, he was married twice. His first wife was Annie Edith Preston, daughter of Taylor and Minnie Leona ( nee Stevens) Preston. She died in 1926 but not before giving him the gift of a son, Robert.

One day when he was visiting with his son he met Jessie Dodson, the daughter of George Bell and Cynthia Vance Dodson. They were married in 1930 and were blessed with a daughter, Doris, about 2 years later.

In addition to working in the oil industry, Ed was a veteran of WWI, a member of the Masonry, the VFW and a member of his local church.

He was loved and missed at the time of his home-going. RIP, Clovis "Ed" Graham.

Clovis died in 1975 in Pampa, Texas.
