In the death of Edward S Graham, Newark loses and old and respected citizen. He came here early in life from Connecticut and for more than forty years held the position of secretary of The Mechanic's Fire Insurance Company of this city of which the late William H Meyer was President. So well did these gentlemen manage the trust confided in them that when the company some years since concluded to wind up it's affairs and sold it's business to the Germania Company of New York a hundred and sixty-five per cent was divided among the stockholders of the retiring company.
Mr Graham was an earnest and conscientious Presbyterian, long connected with the Third Church of Newark. He may be truly said to have been one his personal duty a higher interest than his personal gain....taken from his obit in the Newark Daily Advertiser Jan 28, 1890.
