Matthew Sr. and Annie Graham and their children Charles, Annie, Tillie, Margaret, and Matthew Jr.

The Graham farm was located on the Abbotsford/Langley border in Glen Valley. Graham Hill on the Glen Valley escarpment was named after this family. Crops were: dairy, potatoes, oats, hay turnips, and mangolds. Prior to 1940, crop rotation was practiced, with grass being sown under a cover crop of oats. The threshing machine moved around the valley from farm to farm followed by the threshing gang. Milk was sold for $2 per can in Vancouver. The Probert's and Harry Wright brought stock to the Graham farm.
