FATAL ACCIDENT G..
Grandy died this Monday morning
from the effects of an accident
which occurred last Wednesday,
while he was assisting in driving
piles on the site where he had just
begun the erection of new mill.
AS he was holding lever to guide
the pile it was struck by the fall
ing hammer and in some way thrown
against the side of his head with
l -
of the brain. He was unconscious
most of the time after the injury.
Mr.. Grandy moved to this county from
Washington county nearly thirty
years ago and started lumber bust
ness in Bloomington, afterward
moving to Barton Landing where he
built shop, hosue and other build
ings and ran successful business
alone some years, when the o-part-
; nership of Grandy, Skinner & Park
er was formed. This company ran a
large business for several years.
: Afterwards Mr.. Grandy, we believe
in company with Mr.. Skinner, built a
lumber mill near So. Barton where
large tract of land was cleared OF
wood and timber. Later a partner
ship was formed with officials of the
Passumpsic railroad. large shops
built at Lyndonville and a heavy
business done for some years. A
few years since the international
+. Co. of Newport was formed, Mr.
Grandy being the leading spirit in
/ the big enterprise which has added
so much to the prosperity anG
: growth of Newport and West Derby
f 1t was due to Mr.. Grandy's courage
2 and enterprise that this business was
s started. He had just commenced
q private enterprise in the cree
). ton of a mill on the lake for thu
n manufacture of clapboards, shingle
etc. Wherever he has been be has
Y given business lively impetus, ant
he will be greatly missed in this sec
ton. He was kind, generous
neighborly, public-spirited citizen
r. active in many good works. H,
leaves wife and several children
who have the heartfelt sympathy o
many friends.
