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.
