    Notes 
    • Linda Kuykendall, whose grandfather Aaron Egbert Kuykendall was a first cousin of George Graham wrote that:

      "George Graham or G.G. as we called him was a small man, sometimes referred to as sickly. After Alfred's first wife died he wed Susan Britton Stinnett the widow with a child of Dabney K. Stinnett and his son Elvis Stinnett.

      G.G. and Elvis became close When Elvis died of such a simple accident with a dog (fractured skull) G.G. began carrying a small gun when going into town and elimating loose dogs on the streets as told to me by my father. This can be backed up by the fines he paid off at the courthouse. He also had a habit of carrying quite a bit of money which I think probably also had something to do with the gun also since Elvis was gone.

      After church G.G. would invite the different Kuykendall's to his house for dinner and would always enjoy the children. Dad said he would carve fish lures and give them to the boys for fishing.

      In later years Dad's Aunt and Uncle were hired to stayed with him she taking care of the house and he taking care of the farm work."

      A photo of his grave marker, on his FindAGrave memorial page created by Carmian, show that along with his name and years of birth and death, the marker was further engraved "In Memory of George G. Kuykendall who donated this ground for the original cemetery on or berfore the recorded date of 1/27/1891 and the first addition recorded date of 4/17/1911."
