Carrie B. Graham (c.1862-1937) was born in Fort Ann, New York, and died
in Glens Falls, New York. She became interested in Christian Science in early 1884 when
she was healed by Fannie M. Silsbee, a student of Mary Baker Eddy's. Graham studied with
Eddy in September 1884 and joined the Christian Scientist Association in November of
that year. Her initial involvement in the Christian Science movement ended in early 1885
when she aligned herself with Kate Taylor and other students who supported the
publication of Taylor's pamphlet,
Selfhood Lost In Godhood. The
pamphlet, according to the minutes of the Christian Scientist Association, defamed
Science and Health and encouraged people to study with
unauthorized teachers of Christian Science, including Edward J. Arens. In 1891, Graham,
now Carrie B. Mosier, wrote to Mary Baker Eddy expressing regret at what happened in
1885 and asking for her forgiveness. Eddy's reply is not extant, but correspondence
suggests that Graham became involved with a group of Christian Scientists in Glens
Falls. There is no record of Graham uniting with The First Church of Christ,
Scientist.
