Clyde C. Graham Dies – Columbia River Pilots’ Secretary Succumbs.
Native of Oregon Widely Known in Shipping Circles; Funeral to Be Held Monday.
Clyde C. Graham, 44, secretary of the Columbia River pilots for the past ten years and well known in shipping circles, died suddenly at his home, 7640 Southeast Thirtieth avenue, yesterday morning. He had been at his office in the Oregon building as usual Thursday, but was forced by illness to go to his home late in the day. He prepared to return to his office yesterday morning but was overcome by a heart attack before he left home.
Mr. Graham was born in Oregon City January 18, 1890, but has lived in Portland since he was one year old. His father was the late Captain A. W. Graham, for many years a master of sailing vessels and a founder of the Oregon City Transportation company, operating river boats on the Willamette river. It was his father’s company that Clyde became connected with the shipping industry. He was employed on the famous T. J. Potter during her later years. Later, he was claim agent for the Columbia Pacific Shipping company, and for a short time was with the American-Hawaiian Steamship company.
Mr. Graham attended the old Central school, East Side high school, now Washington high, and Oregon State college, where he became a star in football and basketball in 1909 and won medals for his swimming ability.
He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Irma Graham, and two daughters, Janice and Katherine, and by his mother, Mrs. A. W. Graham, and a sister, Lena.
Funeral services will be held at 2:30 P.M. Monday at the First Congregational church. Interment will be at Riverview cemetery.
