We have designated Sylvester Graham the Father of Veegtarianism in the U.S. He died at age 56 - the cause of his death remains a mystery as it was determined that he died of no organic disease.
SYLVESTER:GRAHAM Was the son of Rev. John Graham, of West Suffield, Ct., where he was born. He prepared for college at Amherst Academy, but did not enter any institution; studied theology under the general direction of Rev. Emerson Paine, then of Little Compton. He requested ordination as Evangelist, by Mendon Association, 28 Oct., 1828; and, after considerable delay and examination, Was ordained at Rehoboth, 18 Nov., 1828. He afterwards preached a short time in New Jersey , to a Presbyterian church; but soon after resigned the duties and titles of the ministry, and became known simply as a Lecturer upon Diet and Regimen. The subsequent part of his life was spent at Northampton, when not-lecturing abroad. As a writer upon Dietetics, he became extensively known. He died at Northampton , 17 Sept., 1851, leaving a widow and two children: a daughter, the wife of Mr. John Musgrave, of Leedsville, Northampton; and a son, now resident of Boston.
