HENRY MCGRAW
Vol. 3, p. 1121

A member of the Tulsa bar since 1911, Henry McGraw is numbered among
the substantial lawyers of this city, where he has been connected for
several years with the Gulf Pipe Line Company of Oklahoma, in the
capacity of assistant attorney. Mr. McGraw was born at Leavenworth,
Kansas, May 9, 1877, and is a son of Thomas and Anna (GILMORE) McGraw.

Thomas McGraw was born in County Down, Ireland, and was a child when
brought to this county in a sailing vessel, landing at New York City
during the '40s. Gradually he drifted to the West and located in
Kansas, where he spent some year at Leavenworth, but in 1893 came to
Oklahoma and settled in the vicinity of Ponca City, Kay County, where
he engaged in farming and stock-raising as a pioneer. He still
continues to be active in his operations and through industry and
perseverance has made a success of his ventures. He is a republican,
but has not been identified with political affairs save as a voter.
While a resident of Leavenworth, Kansas, Mr. McGraw was married to
Miss Anna GILMORE, who was born n County Clare, Ireland, came as a
child with her parents to America, and settled with them in Kansas.
She also survives. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. McGraw,
of whom seven survive, Henry being the fifth child in order of birth.

After attending the public schools of Leavenworth, Henry McGraw
entered the University of Oklahoma, where he took his literary
course, then taking up his law studies in the law department of the
University of Kansas, from which he was graduated in 1901, with the
degree of Bachelor of Laws. At that time he began the active practice
of his profession at Ponca City, but subsequently removed to Perry,
Oklahoma, where for three years he was associated with Judge Thomas
H. DOYLE. This partnership terminated in 1904. Mr. McGraw, at
statehood, removed to Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and in 1911 he came to
Tulsa, and here has since been assistant attorney for the Gulf Pipe
Line Company of Oklahoma. He considered a close and careful student
of his profession, and belongs to the Oklahoma State Bar Association
and the American Bar Association. In political matters he is a
republican, but the duties of his practice have kept him from
engaging in public affairs. He maintains offices on the seventh floor
of the Clinton Building.
