He was the son of Joseph Douglas Graham and Jane Little. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Graham, was an Irish immigrant.

He was often called "Boney."

In 1852, he left Virginia with his parents and siblings, and they migrated to Morgan County, Kentucky. Where they lived became Wolfe County, in 1860. They lived near Hazel Green.

Napoleon married Hannah Lacy around 1876. They had six children, but only three survived past childhood: Paris Morton (born Nov. 30, 1878); Rebecca Jane (born Dec. 6, 1883); and Celso. Their two daughters, Martha and Mary, died as infants, and their son Seward, who was born Oct. 24, 1879, died at the age of six.

His wife Hannah died in 1887.

On Nov. 29, 1888, he got remarried to her younger sister, Angeline Lacy. They had seven children: Arthur N. (born Sept. 12, 1889); Dillard Russell (born Dec. 12, 1891); Berlin (born Jan, 20, 1893); Victor (born June 4, 1895); Ada Rice (born Oct. 30, 1899); Virgil (born June 12, 1903); and Thelma (born June 6, 1906).

He owned the Hotel Day in Hazel Green. But many people said that the hotel only brought bad luck to him and his family. In 1901, his son Berlin fell there and broke his left arm. In November of 1901, his four youngest sons came down with fever and whooping cough. Little Victor died from it.

He was also the postmaster at Demund, Kentucky for 30 years.

He died on July 24, 1939. He was buried in the Lacy-Graham Cemetery, next to his second wife Angeline who had died on July 14, 1927.
