EUGENE GRISWOLD, 1848-1920Life member of the Nevada Historical Society. Eugene Griswold was one of the successful and energetic business men of Nevada. Born in Quincy, Illinois, July 14, 1848, he began his business career at Wadsworth, Nevada, in the spring of 1869.
Coming from sturdy old New England stock, he possessed that fine strong character that makes for intelligent citizenship, and at the same time held that spirit of adventure, that sent him out to the new undeveloped country of the far West.
He served his country well in the Civil War, enlisting as a volunteer before he was sixteen. He was distinctively a pioneer in that he did not hesitate to encourage and assist in the upbuilding of many of Nevada's infant industries, notably that of the borax developments, which have proved so famous in this State. A life-long Republican, he not only served as a Justice of the Peace in his own community, but represented them at the State Legislature, where he showed a good and conservative record.
He died at Oakland, California, December 28, 1920.
