Description: ROBERT GRAHAM COLLECTION HISTORY & INFORMATION OF THE ROBERT GRAHAM COLLECTION Robert Graham was born in 1908 in Stillwater Township, Minnesota. Robert married Margaret Thereau and they lived in Grant Township near Stillwater, MN until his death in 1981. Robert was a bridge architect, but his passion was trains, specifically locomotives. Riding a motorcycle, he and Margaret traveled across the country taking pictures of train locomotives. At home, he developed his photos in his basement dark room and systematically filed them in albums. Upon Robert’s death in 1981, Margaret gave this collection of photos to Myron Gilbertson who was a long-time neighbor, friend, and fellow train enthusiast. Robert Graham was well known in the Upper Midwest, and around the country for his model railroading and was published in several magazines. Gilbertson proudly kept and stored this collection until his death in 2012. At this time, his wife, Kate Gilbertson, retained ownership and kept it in her possession until August 1, 2018, at which time we, Jonah's Online Sales, purchased the entire collection to be broken up and offered on eBay along with spreading the word about this collection of history. At the time of purchase, we requested Kate Gilbertson write a short note with this historical information, which she gladly did with her signature and is pictured in this listing. Robert Graham also collected photos from other photographers along the way. These are also in the collection. Most are marked on the back with the name of the photographer.
