                OBITUARY.
            CHARLES K. GRAHAM.
 Gen. Charles Kinnard Graham, civil en-
gineer, ex-surveyor, and ex-Naval Officer of
port, died from pneumonia at the Laurel
House, Lakewood, N.J., yesterday morning, in
the fifty-fifth year of his age.
 He was born in the Ninth Ward, this city, on
June 3, 1824. In 1841, when only 17 years
of age, he became a midshipman in the United
States Navy, serving in the Gulf during the
Mexican war, after which he resigned from the
service. Returning to his native city, he de-
voted himself to the study of civil engineering.
In 1857 he was appointed constructing engineer
of the Brooklyn navy Yrad, the city docks and
landings being built under his supervision. In
1861, when the civil war broke out, he joined
the Union Army, together with 400 other
men employed in the navy yards. He sub-
sequently became Colonel of the Excelsior
Brigade, and through the early portion
of the war was actively engaged
in the Army of the Potomac. In November
1862, he received a commission as Brigadier
General, and fought at the battle of Gettys-
burg, where he was seriously wounded. Upon
his recovery he was assigned to the command
of the gunboats on the James River under com-
mand of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, and was the
first to carry the national colors up the river.
 Gen. Graham was brevetted Major General of
Volunteers March 13, 1865. He was Chief En-
gineerof the Dock Department from 1873 till
1875, and Surveyor of the Port of New-York
from 1978 to 1883. In 1883 he was appointed
Naval Officer, which post he held until 1885,
since which time he has suffered much from
sickness. Some months ago he removed to
Lakewood, N.J., thinking the atmosphere
among the pines would benefit his health.
 Gen. Graham leaves no family, as he was
childless and his wife died last August. His
two brothers, DeWitt C. Graham of 122 Madi-
son-avenue, and John Graham, who resides at
the Metropolitan Hotel, both lawyers, survive
him. His brother Dewitt was with him when
he died and his other brother, John, and
nephew, David Graham, went to Lakewood
yesterday morning on hearing of the General's
death. They returned last night bringing the
remains with them, and taking them to the res-
idence of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Gertrude Wil-
kins, 37 Seventh-avenue, where they now are.
Notice of funeral arrangements will be given
hereafter.
