Graham bread (1832), Graham cracker (1852)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   OED has 1834 for "Graham bread" and 1881 for "Graham cracker."  Both were named after (by?) Sylvester Graham (1795-1851).  I did "s'more" database searching for "Graham."

what I should do if I thought I should not return to Iowa to you again. Your home is the dearest place on earth to me I guess I must soon begin a letter to some of Uncle's folks You must think my letter very disconnected but I have to leave off so often to attend to other things We found a sack of graham crackers to day spoiled from damp so we have to throw them away. I wonder if you yet have got any graham flour if not, do there's a dear I'm sure it would be better than white for you How does Caroline come on & how do the currant bushes look Oh every tree & spot around you
