GRAHAM, Robert F., Skilled in Corporation Law.


Among those Pittsburgh lawyers whose professional careers are co-eval with the twentieth century, is Robert Fleming Graham, especially well known as a corporation counsel. Mr. Graham has loyally chosen as the scene of his labors the city which has been his home during half his life and with whose lead- ing interests he is thoroughly identified.


Hugh Graham, great-great-grandfather of Robert Fleming Graham, was a de- scendant of Scottish ancestors, and was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. In his youth he was captured by Indians, but succeeded in escaping from the savages and making his way home. Dur- ing the remainder of his life he was engaged in agricultural pursuits in his native county. He married Margaret Kennedy, and among their sons were Robert, mentioned below; John, and George. The two last named were sol- diers in a Pennsylvania regiment during the Revolutionary War, George being at one time taken prisoner by the enemy. He later settled in South Carolina, John making his home at New Albany, Indiana, which town he surveyed and laid out, and where many of his descendants re- side at the present day.


(II) Robert, son of Hugh and Mar- garet (Kennedy) Graham, was born


about 1760, and until 1800 cultivated land in Lancaster county. In that year he moved to Butler county, Pennsylvania, where he conducted a tannery and traded extensively with the Indians. In the War of 1812 he served as a "Dunny Money" volunteer, and after the close of the war moved to Elizabeth township, Allegheny county, where he passed the remainder of his life. In politics he was a Whig. Robert Graham married Margaret, daughter of Colonel Thomas Gilchrist, who had won his military title in the war for independence, and had received from the government a tract of about five hundred acres in Butler county. Mr. and Mrs. Graham were the parents of six children, of whom John K., mentioned below, was the youngest. The death of Mrs. Graham occurred in 1839, and the following year her husband also passed away.


(III) John K., son of Robert and Mar- garet (Gilchrist) Graham, was born in 1815, in Butler county, Pennsylvania, and was a child when his parents removed to Allegheny county. Inheriting a portion of the homestead, he made it his home for the greater part of his life. He caused the buildings of the estate to be remodel- ed, and was at one time a farmer upon an extensive scale, later disposing of a part of his property. He was first a Whig and then a Republican. He was at one time an elder in the Associate Reformed church, and subsequently held the same office in the United Presbyterian church. Mr. Graham married (first) Mary Ann, daughter of John and Margaret (Cal- houn) Calhoun, and their children were: John Calhoun, mentioned below; Adly, died in childhood; and Robert, also died in childhood. Mrs. Graham died about 1852, and Mr. Graham married (second) Eliza Rankin, becoming by this union the father of the following children:


2508


ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY


Samuel A .; Sarah J .; Mary Ann, died in childhood; Eliza M., also died in child- hood; and Margaret C., died at the age of twenty-two years. Mr. Graham sur- vived to the venerable age of ninety-two, passing away in 1907.


(IV) John Calhoun, son of John K. and Mary Ann (Calhoun) Graham, was born in October, 1845, attended the local schools, and after his marriage made his home on a portion of the homestead. In 1874 he moved to Connellsville, Fayette county, and there owned a flouring mill which he operated at different times on both banks of the Youghiogheny river. In politics he was a Republican, and he and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian church. Mr. Graham mar- ried Margaret Fleming, whose ancestral record is appended to this biography, and their children were: Robert Fleming, mentioned below ; William C., principal of the high school at Wilkinsburg, Penn- sylvania ; Mary C., died September 16, 1897; and James B., chief inspector of the National Tube Company, of Loraine, Ohio. Mr. Graham died in 1884, ere he had completed his fortieth year. He was a man of high principle and irreproach- able life.


(V) Robert Fleming, son of John Cal- houn and Margaret (Fleming) Graham, was born May 19, 1871, in Elizabeth township, Allegheny county, Pennsyl- vania, and received his earliest education in the public schools, afterward attend- ing Mount Pleasant Academy. Subse- quently he matriculated at Tarkio Col- lege, Missouri, graduating in 1894.


After returning to Pennsylvania, Mr. Graham was for several years an instruc- tor in Mount Pleasant, Mckeesport and Pittsburgh, but his predominant inclina- tion was for the law, and as soon as circumstances permitted he registered as a student in the office of James H. Beal. On March 22, 1902, he was admitted to


the bar. Immediately thereafter Mr. Graham entered upon the active duties of his profession, building up, by dint of native ability and thorough equipment, a successful general practice. He is attor- ney for the Mckeesport school district and several corporations, having be- stowed special attention upon the study of corporation law. He is a member of the Allegheny County Bar Association, and is known as a typical Pittsburgh lawyer of the present day-clever, clear- thinking, devoted to duty, and withal a cultured man of genial and dignified manners.


In the realm of politics Mr. Graham, in accordance with his family tradition, adheres to the Republican party. He affiliates with lodge, chapter and com- mandery in the Masonic fraternity, be- longs to the Youghiogheny Country Club, and is an elder in the United Presby- terian church.


Mr. Graham married, June 21, 1904, Mary Elizabeth Patterson, whose ances- tral record is appended to this biography, and they have been the parents of two sons: Robert Patterson, born March 5, 1906, died at the age of five years; and John Kenneth, born August 6, 1908. Mrs. Graham is a woman of charming per- sonality, a favorite in society and well fitted to be, as she is, the presiding genius of a happy home.


Robert Fleming Graham, as a repre- sentative of a family which has been active in the development of the best interests of Pennsylvania, is worthily upholding, as a member of the Pittsburgh bar, the hereditary traditions of able service and good citizenship.

He gained title to a farm, in this neighborhood and there spent his remaining years.


(II) Robert (2), son of Robert (1) Fleming, was born on this farm and at his father's death inherited a portion thereof, making it his lifelong home. He and his wife were first members of the Associate Reformed church, and later of the United Presbyterian church. Robert Fleming married Elizabeth Jack, and their children were: Sarah; Annie ; Mar- garet, mentioned below; Cynthia Mary ; and Annetta.

He became an expert in ma- chine construction, emigrated to the United States and in 1871 associated himself with the National Tube Com- pany of Pittsburgh, having charge of all their construction work. It was under his direction that their many enormous


plants were erected. Peter Patterson married Mary Rae, and their daughter, Mary Elizabeth, is mentioned below. The death of Mr. Patterson occurred October 30, 1912.


(III) Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Peter (2) and Mary (Rae) Patterson, is now the wife of Robert Fleming Graham, as stated above.


HARTON, George M., Lawyer.


Prominent among representative Pitts- burgh attorneys is George M. Harton. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- vania, a son of the late Theodore Mar- shall and Emily (Rinehart) Harton. His education was received in the schools and high schools of his native city, and was graduated from Adrian College, with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy in 1891 ; in 1892 he was graduated from the University of Michigan with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Mr. Harton was admitted to the bar of Allegheny county in December, 1892, and opened a law office in January, 1893, since which time he has been continuously practicing law in Pittsburgh. Not content with a legal practice which would satisfy the am- bition of most men, Mr. Harton is active- ly associated with a variety of interests, among them being the presidency of the Augusta Veneer Company, and the presi- dency of Randall Rotary Power Plug Company. In all things pertaining to the welfare and advancement of Pitts- burgh Mr. Harton has ever taken a public-spirited interest. Politically he is a Republican, and, while he has never consented to hold office, has rendered loyal and influential support to all meas- ures which, in his judgment, tended to promote good government and further the cause of municipal reform. He is a

Mr. Harton married, May 3, 1905, Miss Carice, daughter of George C. and Jessie (Finley) Newman, of Mechanicsburg, Ohio. The Newman and Finley families are old Ohio families, being among the States' early settlers, and numbering among their number many clergymen and merchants. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Harton: Ruth Emily; George M., Jr., born October 23, 1912.


RINEHART, David, Manufacturer.


David Rinehart, of Pittsburgh, Penn- sylvania, was born near Pittsburgh in 1810, the location being part of what is now known as Calhoun Park. His death occurred in Morgantown, West Virginia, July, 1881. He was a son of David and Mary (Mahood) Rinehart. His educa- tion was limited to what could be obtain- ed in the public schools, which, at that early date, were very poorly equipped. In 1836 Mr. Rinehart became associated with his brother, the late William Rine- hart (whose biography, containing a full account of the Rinehart ancestry, is else- where in this work), in the tobacco busi- ness, under the firm name of W. & D. Rinehart. They opened up business on Hand street (now Ninth street) where they continued for some time, afterwards


In politics Mr. Rinehart was an "old line Whig" until the Republican party was founded, when he became a Repub- lican. Early in the history of the Meth- odist Protestant church, after it seceded from the Methodist Episcopal church, in 1828, Mr. Rinehart united with the new body and remained a consistent member of the First Methodist Protestant Church until his death.


He married, in Pittsburgh, Eliza Jane Ing, born in Baltimore, January 14, 1819, died in Pittsburgh, August 24, 1892; she was the daughter of John Ing, who was born in England, in August, 1791, a har- ness maker by occupation, and his wife, Elizabeth Brennan, born February 20, 1800, in Pittsburgh.

They moved over to this country very early in the last cen- tury, coming to Pennsylvania in 1801.


JONES, William W., Physician, Hospital Official.


Among the leading representatives of Pittsburgh physicians of the older gener- ation must be included Dr. William Wat- son Jones, who has devoted himself for more than a third of a century to the general practice of his profession. Ex- cellence in that profession has been asso- ciated with the name of Jones for two generation, and in two States of the Union.


(I) Lemuel Jones, great-grandfather of William Watson Jones, was a native of Wales, and emigrated to the United States, where he settled in Virginia, be- coming a farmer and merchant.
