The late Reverend Billy Graham was familiar with Oklahoma long before he became a “Reverend.” Graham spent time as a kid on his uncle’s Cherokee County farm. He and his late cousin, Tahlequah Dentist T.O. Graham, were extremely close.
He visited the state many times, and was called upon to speak during the dark days following the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
