ID. G. GrisN old Of Boston and grand
daughter OF the late Mr.. and Mrs. Loren
GriswoId OF Randolph, died Sunday at
the home Of hs1smother at 1e0 Hunting
ton avenue, Boston.
A short time ago Miss Griswold under
went q surgical operation for q trouble
dating back to September. at which time
she was visiting in Waban and slipped on
the platform at the railroad station. She
did not think she was badly hurt and
continued teaching until fve weeks ago
when she was taken In In school and car
ried home. Though the operation was
deemed successful, her recovery was SLOW
and she suffered also from extreme nerv-
BUSINESS, arising, it Is believed, from the
strain attendant upon her transfer from
the Girls Latin school TO the Dorchester
High school against the wishes Of many.
She was educated in the public schools
Of Boston and was q graduate Of the
Girls Latin school, in which she taught
IS years.
About three years ago Kiss GriswOld-
with her mother and sister, Katherine,
was at the Center several weeks during
the summer, revisiting the mothers old
home, and in the midst Of their pleasant
outing came the dreadful tidings that
the only son and brother, Loren Girls
void. I'd, while bicycling in New Hamp-
shire, had been run over and killed by a
train at Lancaster, n. II. In this third
great afiiiction, the two surviving MEM
bers Of a sadly depleted far1iIy viii have
the sympathy Of their many Randolph
friends.
The funeral OF Miss Griswold was held
IN Emmanuel church ct noon Tuesday,
Rev. Elwood Worcester, d. D., the rec
tor, officiating. There was no music, no
pail bearers, no ushers-
All Of Miss Griswold's pupils in the
Dorchester High school were present; also
q large number Of those whom she form
erly served in the Girls Latin school.
There was also representation from Rad
clifIe college.
The body was taken to Forest Hills
cemetery, where the burial was private.
Miss Griswoldis life work was thought
worthy Of the following editorial mention
BY the Boston Herald, in Tuesdays issue:
Miss Ellen GriswoId was one OF the
best known and one Of the most highly
honored teachers In the Boston public
schools. Her death is deplored By all
who knew her and. we believe, by ALI
who ever heard Of her. Her long term OF
service had endeared her to many pupils
and 10 many homes. Her infiusncs
spread far. as does the influence Of all
good teaehera she wus graduate Of the
Girls Latin school, where she taught for
many years before she waa t1ansferred
last January. Her heart was il that
school and ia her work. She vas Alto

which greatly increased the already great
general respect for her. She was thor
oughly loyal. But Il hurt her to feel, as
she did feel. that her years OF steadfasf
labor and her devotion to duty Is che
saw it were not appreciated nor under
stood in Official quarters. She was cour-
ageous as well as loyal. and she showed
her courage again when after her recent
accident she went about her task with the
same eheerfulness a. OF old. She viii be
widely and sadly missed. A quiet and
noble light has gone out. She will be
well remembered. The deepest sympathy
goes forth to her widowed mother and be-
reaved sister; all the pupils in whose lives
she was q helpful influence feel that they
have lost q friend, and the public knows
that il has lost faithful servant"
