It was Mary Graham's sister, the late Mrs. Ida Graham Daugherty, who gave Graham Park to the City of Carroll about 45 years ago, so that children could have a place to play and adults a place for recreation and relaxation.

The Graham sisters were daughters of the late J.B. Graham, a member of the Carroll County Board of Supervisors at the time the old court house was built in the mid-1880's. The Graham mementoes have been kept since then by Mr. Daugherty, who lives at 439 E. 6th St.
