Zoe and Dee Graham, a branch of the Biswell tree

Listen:
zoe graham a (28.1M)
zoe graham b (5.0M)

This recording was made by Zoe Graham, the wife of James Landrum "Dee" Graham. Dee was a half first cousin of Charles Bedford Biswell. They shared grandfather Shelton Rice Biswell but different grandmothers: Nancy Jane Moffitt and Sarah Jane Grigsby, respectively.

Zoe tells an interesting story about her life in Texas, New Jersey, New York, and California in the 20th century. I assume the tape was made in the 1970s, although the exact date is unknown.

Zoe and Dee were living in Walnut Creek, CA, and Charles's brother Hubert "Harold" Biswell and sister-in-law Ruth were living in nearby Berkeley, CA, at the same time.

Samuel A. "Sam" Graham was Dee's brother.
