FRED L. INGRAHAM, County Attorney of Yuma, has been identified with the political life of Arizona for a number
of years, and is particularly well known for the part he took in the Constitutional Convention in 1910, having
been a member of the committee which drafted the Corporation Commission provision, and also of the Styk, Revision
and Compilation Committee, and together with Mr. M. G. Cunniff, President of the First State Senate, and Lysander
Cassidy, a well known citizen of Phoenix. Mr. Ingraham was born in 1868, in Ohio, where his father, Richard Ingraham,
was a merchant and farmer. His mother, Lucy Lewis Ingraham, was a descendant of one of the well known pioneer families
of that State. His forbears on both sides were among the pioneers of Ohio and Michigan. Mr. Ingraham attended public
schools in Ohio and Michigan, and was afterwards graduated from the Law and Literary Departments of the University
of Michigan, at Ann Arbor. After completing his course he was for some time instructor in English at Ypsilanti
Normal College, Michigan, where he established an excellent reputation as an exponent and teacher of pure English.
In 1907 he was united in marriage with Miss Inez Jacobs, a daughter of one of the pioneer families of Arizona,
her family having been among the early settlers of Yuma. To this union has been born one daughter, Alice. Mr. Ingraham
not only takes a prominent part in the political life of the State, but is also a substantial business man, a stockholder
and director of the Yuma National Bank, and a large landholder. During his term of office he has given general
satisfaction as a prosecutor and has conducted the affairs of the office in a manner thoroughly satisfactory to
the voters of the county.
