Misc. Notes
In the 1880 and 1920 censuses, she listed her place of birth as New York, same for her parents. In 1920, she appears to give her birthdate as January 1844 (very hard to read).
The newspaper once prints her name as Electra, but it is consistently “Electa” in the census reports and elsewhere.
Believe from the various family associations reported in the papers that her maiden name was Bell.
There is an earlier Electa Bell, b. about 1804 in Crown Point, d., 1892 in Wisconsin, who married Durham Inglesby (http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/person.aspx?pid=29103681). The Inglesby place is mentioned in one of the William Graham articles.
I’m very confused by the existence of Harry H. Ramsay (see newspaper articles on this card), who appears to have been born c. 1893, has the same name as Harold H. Ask, has a son who is a Harry Jr., and yet carries the surname of Ramsay, not Ask. This Harold clearly died in 1927, yet the other one was clearly alive in 1930 and may have lived until 1980. Did she only adopt boys named Harold H.? Further, Blanchards, Leonard and Norman, are listed as his brothers. Very confusing.
There is a William Graham who posted a notice in the Ticonderoga Sentinel in Oct. 1926, “I hereby forbid anyone trusting or harboring my wife, Elizabeth Graham, on my account, as I shall pay no bills contracted by her after this date. Dated Crown Point, N.Y. Oct. 29, 1926. William Graham.”

This causes confusion, and MUST be another Mrs. William Graham, indicating that the noted first marriage to a Blanchard may be another person?
