William Montrose Graham born on September 28, 1834, in the District of Columbia. He came of a distinguished family.
His father was Col. James Duncan Graham; an uncle, Lieut. -Col. William Montrose Graham, for whom he was named, was killed while leading his regiment at Molino del Rev, Mexico. His mother was Charlotte (Meade) Graham.
Graham received his early schooling at Hallowell’s Academy, Alexandria, Virginia, at Mt. St. Albans, Washington, D. C. , and at Bolmar Academy, Westchester, Pennsylvania.
At the age of nineteen, Graham went with the Stevens Expedition as an assistant astronomer. Two years later, he was commissioned second lieutenant in the army and was assigned to the 1st Artillery.
Almost immediately, he saw active service against the Seminole Indians in Florida, 1855-56, and on the Texas frontier, 1856-61, where he participated with credit (1859 - 60) in operations against the Mexican bandit Cortinas and his marauders along the Rio Grande.
Shortly after the beginning of the Civil War, he was promoted captain, October 26, 1861, and assigned to the command of Light Battery K, 1st Artillery.
He took part with distinction in Gen. McClellan’s entire Peninsular campaign, for which service he received the brevet of major. Subsequently, he was brevetted lieutenant-colonel for gallantry at Antietam, and colonel for distinguished services at Gettysburg, and during the years 1863-65, commanded the 2nd Brigade, Horse Artillery, Army of the Potomac, until ordered on mustering and Disbursing duty at Concord, New Hampshire.
On March 13, 1865, he was awarded the brevet of brigadier-general for gallant and meritorious services throughout the Civil War, and later, in the same year, was assigned to command the 2nd District of Columbia Infantry as a colonel of volunteers.
In the period following the Civil War, Graham passed through two serious epidemics of yellow fever, at Jackson Barracks, Louisiana, in 1867, and at Key West in 1873, and took part in 1869 in a punitive expedition from Fort Riley, Kansas, against hostile Indians on the Republican River.
He became major, 4th Artillery, in 1879; lieutenant-colonel, 1st Artillery, in 1887; colonel, 5th Artillery, in 1891; and a brigadier-general in 1897.
As a general officer, his first assignment was to command the Department of Texas, and the outbreak of the Spanish War in 1898 found him commanding the Department of the Gulf with headquarters at Atlanta.
He was promptly appointed a major-general of volunteers March 4, 1898, and commanded the II Army Corps at Falls Church, Virginia, and later at Camp Meade, Pennsylvania.
He was retired from active service under the operation of law September 28, 1898, but was retained on active duty under his volunteer commission until November 30.
In 1916, he was promoted to the rank of major-general on the retired list.
He died at Wardour, Annapolis, Maryland, at the home of one of his daughters, and was interred with military honors in the Congressional Cemetery, Washington, D. C.
William Montrose Graham was commissioned in the 1st Artillery Regiment in 1855 and was commended for his service in Florida during the Third Seminole War. He had been promoted to Captain by the start of the Civil War. While commanding Battery K, 1st Artillery he was cited for gallantry during the Peninsula Campaign, Antietam, and Gettysburg, earning brevets to Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel. He was appointed Colonel of the 2nd District of Columbia Infantry in 1865 and received a brevet promotion to Brigadier General at the end of the war. Graham was promoted to Major General of Volunteers and commanded the Second Army Corps at Camp Alger, Virginia.

Studious, devoted to his profession, possessing a keen sense of humor, Graham combined lofty ideals of duty and rigid discipline with a chivalrous attitude towards subordinates, which marked him as an outstanding officer of the old army. He was survived by his wife, two sons, and three daughters.
Graham’s wife, to whom he was married at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, on September 4, 1860, was Mary Brewerton Ricketts, daughter of Maj. - Gen. James B. Ricketts and of Harriet J. Pierce Ricketts, daughter of Col. Benjamin K. Pierce, and a niece of President Franklin Pierce.
