ming, Rev. Mr. Rhoades took as the subject

Our citizens were shocked last Sunday to
learn that George L. Griswold, who had
been for number of years identified with
the business of the place as grocer, was
dead. For two or three years he has been
growing eccentric to such degree that it
was feared his mind was becoming I'M
balanced. During the last few weeks his
store has been closed and he has been
under the care of DIR. GOsselyn. 1t seems
that on Sunday morning he was about the
house as usual until shortly before twelve
o'clock, when he was taken with spasms
which resulted in death in about half an
hour 1t was reported that he had been
taking some kind Of drugs, but the family
seem to discredit it being anything danger
/ Gus No examination Of the body was
made, and the funeral took place on Tues
| day at two O'Clock. Mr. Griswod began
/ life as a workman in the Cambridgeport
wooden mill where he was employed about
thirteen years, after which he was in the
restaurant business in company with
George Brown. Thirteen years ago he
went into the grocery business with his
brother, under the firm name of Griswold
Brothers. This partnership was continued
till about one year ago, when Mr. Griswold
opened a store on Canal street. His age
was -, aud he was unmarried, residing
with his mother ON Atkinson street. Ii is
understood that he had about SO, 900 life
insurance in cooperative associations, of
which $1,000 was in the Bay State Bene-
ficiary association of Westfeld, Mass. The
cause of his death may have something to
do with the validity of the insurance.
