Orlando Graham arrived in LaConner in 1873 as one of the first permanent mainland settlers and was soon employed by Sam Calhoun at his farm north of town. Graham migrated here from McLeod County, Minnesota, where he settled just before the Civil war, following a move from his native New York. After enlisting in 1861 during the war, he was commissioned and rose to First Lieutenant in the Company B, Nineteenth Regiment, Minnesota State Militia, and served with Gen. William T. Sherman on the march across Georgia to the sea. He and Maine-native Amasa "Peg-Leg" Everett both moved here from Minnesota at the same time and they discovered coal on Coal Mountain, across the Skagit River from Hamilton, a year later. A year after that, Orlando apparently sold his coal share and went back to Minnesota and fetched his sons, Albert and Frank, his wife Harriet, their daughters, Carrie and Nellie, and their friend Thomas Sharpe to join him on the island. Sharpe had quite a green thumb and soon he boasted one of the finest orchards about, while the Grahams opened a nursery which began to thrive after the Depression of 1893 subsided. Decades later, Albert discovered copper ore on the family land and made a handsome sale to the Anacopper Mine Company, but riches did not follow since the new owner offered shares in 1930, just as another nationwide Depression set in.
Daughters Carrie and Nellie were both teachers holding certificates and qualified to teach in the public schools of Whatcom county.
Siblings:
- Sheldon Graham (1827-) married Caroline Tyler and is buried in Fairview Cemetery, Little Falls, MN
- Holland "Hall" Graham (1834-) served with the 29th WI regiment alongside his brother Brooklin, mustered out 22 Jun 1865. Married Anna Maria Crosby on 2 Jan 1864. Buried in Marion Lakes Cemetery in Mcleod County MN (age wrong on memorial)
- Angeline Graham (1836-) married Eli Derrick Hewitt and is buried at the GAR Cemetery in Snohomish, WA.
- Brooklyn/Brooklin Graham (1838-16 May 1863) served with the 29th WI regiment alongside his brother Holland. He was killed on 16 May 1863 in the Battle of Champion Hill in MS and is buried in an unmarked union grave at Vicksburg.
