Mrs. S. H. Griffin
Mrs. Samuel H. Griffin, for fifty years a resident of this county,
passed away on Monday afternoon at 3:45 PM, at her home in this city.
Her death was caused by hardening of the arteries. She had been ill
since last May. Funeral services were held from the home, Rev. J. T.
Brown, of the Baptist church, reading the service. The Women's Relief
Corps, of which the deceased had been a member for many years,
attended the funeral in a body. Interment was made in Maplewood
cemetery, six grandsons of Mrs. Griffin acting as pallbearers. They
were Oliver, Lyman and Francis Dean, of this city, and Wilbert, Merle
and Marvin Rowland, of Kanaranzi township.
Anglesea M. Wright was born on April 30, 1844, at Wood County, Ohio.
Later she moved with her parents to Wisconsin, where her
marriage to Samuel H. Griffin took place on March 1, 1866. Two
daughters were born to their union, Mrs. Mary Rowland and Mrs. Winnie
L. Dean, both of whom survive.
In 1872, Mrs. Griffin came with her husband and children to Rock
County, which had since been her home. Mr. Griffin passed away on
November 6, 1910. She is survived by no brothers and sisters, all
having preceded her in death.
Samuel Bush, of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and David Wright, of
Austin, this state, nephews of the deceased, and Mrs. Marie
Lender, of Minneapolis, were out-of-town relatives in attendance at
the funeral.
Mrs. Griffin was a kind and affectionate mother, a loyal and ever
considerate friend, and was held in the warmest esteem by all who knew
her. As one of the pioneers of Rock County, she was influential in the
development of the county and did much in the early days in aiding
early settlers during the trying times of pioneer days.
(NOTE: her parents were Asa and Susanna (Harvey) Wright)

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio, Aug. 19
What is believed to be a murder is being investigated by Sheriff A, C.
Roach and Prosecutor J. E. Ladd.
George Brown, aged 25, was found lying along the Lake Shore tracks
near Vickers, this county, with one
leg severed and suffering from other injuries from which he died later
at the Toledo Hospital without being
able to tell how he was hurt.
Report has it, however, that he was riding on a train loaded with
copper and that one of the guards protecting
the property threw him off the train.
