BORN IN OLD HOME.
FIFTH GENERATION SEES LIGHT
IN HISTORIC DWELLING.
Baby Appears and Is Rocked in the
Same Cradle Which LuIIed His
Great decentralization TO
Sleep Years Before.

Columbus.-Born in the house of his
grandfather and rocked in
the cradle that lulled his great-great'
grandfather to sleep away back in old
Connecticut before the beginning OF
the last century, is the patrician be-
binning of wee Edward Griswold Nc
Cullough, who made his appearance
on earth recently in the old Griswold
inn at Worthington. He is the son OF
Edward Miles Mccullough and Harriet
Griswold Mccullough.
In all the romance of old Worthing-
ton there is no greater halo than that
which hangs over the Griswold inn. 1t
was built in 1906 by Ezra Griswold,
who came from Connecticut with the
pioneers who settled much of the west
ern reserve and central Ohio.
The family was an old one even for
old Connecticut, and Ezra Griswold
was a sturdy representative of it. He
brought his family into the great
west" with him, and his son, George
Griswold, was reared in the inn. He
was eight years old when his father
brought him to- Ohio.
George Griswold, in turn, inherited
the duty of perpetuating the name,
and when his father died he fell heir
to the inn property and lived through
out his life where his father had
builded so we'll His son was Worth
ington Franklin Griswold, who, as his
father had done, inherited the inn and
lived in it.
To him and his good wife was born
a daughter Harriet, who was reared in
the old home of the family, and who
continued to live there when she be-
came Mrs. Mccullough.
Now she is the happy mother of a
son, and she is rocking him in the
Griswold cradle that was brought to
Ohio along with other household pos
sessions, by Ezra Griswold when he
drove his OK team overland from Con-
necticut in 1906.
No one knows how long the unique
heirloom had been in the Griswold
family before that time, but it is sup
posed that Ezra Griswold was himself
rocked in it when he was a babe long
before revolutionary times.
When little Edward Griswold McCul-
Tough is baptized, he will wear a little
white dress that was made for the bap'
tismal ceremony of his grandfather, by
his grandmother dress that
has been handed down in the family
with great care, and which will be
treasured more dearly than ever
when another epoch has been noted
Ia its history.
