Biography
John Andrew Graham, born in 1764, was shaped by the founding decade of the United States and the promise of a new civic order. He lived his adult years in the heartbeat of Manhattan, near St. Mark's, where parishioners leaned on one another for moral and material support.
Graham died in 1841 and rests in the churchyard, a steadfast neighbor in a city whose streets kept changing. His memory endures in the quiet reflection of those who stroll by the monuments of St. Mark's and its fellow parishes.
