His brother. Gen. Jno K. Griffin, was

nent men in the State. having served

Der in 1861 with Jno. Be:ton O'Nr::i,
and DR.. Peter Moon. Ii was this Lc-
gislature that appropriated $4,000 as a
gift to Mrs Randolph. daughter o!
Thomas Jefferson. Of Firgini:.. Col.
Griffin voted against the appropriation,
and thereby rendered himselfvery pop
ular in the County. and our impression
is ne was reelected in 1928. O'Nnail
and Moon voted for the appropriation,
and became for the time so unpopular
that, Notwithstanding tie fact that o.
Neall was Speaker of the House. and
the best Speaker that ever occupied tie
position, both were defeated Of a re-
election in the fall of 1923. ONeall
was elected Judge the following De-
cember by the Legislature.
Col. Griffin retired from politics early
in life. He gas man of considerable
wealth before the war, and lived p quiet
and useful life upon his plantation.
Col. Griffin was for fifty years a con-
sistent and bonored member of Bash
River BaptisD Church, the oldest
church in Newberry County. He join
ed this church the 18th of November,
1881; On the 9Th of August. 1911, he
was elected Clerk of the Church, and
this position he held continuously up to
his death.
Col. Griffin was thrice married. His
first wife was Miss Agnes Young; bis
second Miss Elizahetb Gary, sister of
the late Gen, Martin ". Gary; and his
third Mrs. Louisa Gary. widow Of Mr..
Martin Gary, of Cokesburr, and sister

pard, of Edgefeld, Dr.. VIM. X. Griffin.
Of Greenville, and Mr.. B. +. Griffin, .Jr.,
of Newberry; and two by his second
Misses Efie and Lizzie. He has thir-
teen children dead.
Col. Griffin was u truly good man.
In his own section Of country, where be
was best and most intimately known,
he was universally loved and respected.
He was a neighbor alike to rich and
poor; hospitable, kind and charitable.
TO the community in which be spent
