William Graham was born in 1821 near York, Pennsylvania, and grew up in a large, impoverished, and religious family. William and the other Graham children were farmed out of their more prosperous German neighbors. During the summer William and his siblings earned wages, but in the winter they attended local schools and received room and board from their employers in exchange for performing light chores. Graham's formal schooling was quite limited. Although Graham had experienced a religious conversion at the age of eight, he converted a second time during a revival at the Beaver Street Church in 1841. In 1844 he was ordained as an itinerant Methodist preacher and served in that capacity until his full retirement in 1894. Although Graham spent the bulk of his ministry in Indiana, he also worked as an apprentice house carpenter, was a Methodist circuit rider in western Arkansas, and served two years as a missionary/teacher among the Choctaws in Indian Territory. Graham moved to Indiana in 1847 and spent the remainder of his career in the northwestern part of the state. He served numerous churches, including those in La Porte, Lafayette, Indianapolis, Crawfordsville, Terre Haute, and Valparaiso. Graham died in 1897.
