He was 100 years old on October 8 last, and celebrated the event by a grand banquet. He was born in the old fort, near Danville, Ky., and was an associate of Daniel BOONE. Dr. GRAHAM was the father of Mrs. Senator Jos. BLACKBURN and Mrs. ex-Governor BRAMLETTE. He was an intimate friend of Mr. and Mrs. President Lincoln. Two hours before he died he dictated a letter to Secretary of War Robert Lincoln, the contents of which are unknown. Dr. GRAHAM was hale and hearty until a short time ago, when he made a tour of the State, exhausting himself in so doing. He will be buried at Danville on Thursday.
