OBITUARY
MRS. MARTIN L. GRIFFIN

Mrs. Martin L.. Griffin died of
heart disease at her home in this
city Saturday, April %, 1910, aged
seventy-three years and six months.
Miss Lovina D. Capron was born
at Copley, near Akron, Ohio, Oct
ober %, 1886. On December 20,
1852, she was married to Martin L.
Griffin of Bath, Summit county,
Ohio. In 1856 Mr.. and Mrs. Griffin
came to Wisconsin and settled in
Troy, where they resided until Sept
ember, 1902, when they moved to
this city. Mr.. Griffin died of heart
disease December Is, 1902, just two
days before the fftieth anniversary
of their wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. Griffin were the par
ents of three children, two boys and
girl. Allen E. died in 1860 at the
age of six years Frank D. died
September %, 1904 The daughter,
Mrs. David Haddow, resides in
Troy. Other surviving relatives
are Miss Lucille and Winifred and
Duane Haddow, grandchildren,
sister, Mrs. Cynthia Templeton of
Porterville, Cal, two half-sisters,
Mrs. Eleanor Richardson of Copley,
Ohio, and Mrs. Augusta Miller of
Ellsworth.
The funeral services were held
from the home Monday morning
and were conducted by Rev. D. B.
Spencer, formerly pastor of the
Congregations church here, of
which the deceased was member.
The remains were laid to rest in
Greenwood cemetery.
In her long and painful illness of
the past winter her characteristic
patience, Christian courage and
cheerfulness never forsook her. AS
always she was thoughtful of others
and careful not to miss an oppor-
tunity to tighten their burden when
ever she could. She was held in
high esteem by her neighbors,
whom she regarded with friendly
consideration and during her illness
was ever hopefully awaiting the
time when she could once more take
up her little duties and services of
love.
AS a wife and homemaker she
| was ever faithful, loyal and gener-
Gus, and though she greatly enjoyed
the companionship of friends, her
first thought and care was for her
home. She was a mother and
grandmother such as but few child
rem have the privilege of knowing;
always loving, sympathetic and
generous. Her chief thought was
to serve in whatever way possible
those whom she loved, and she will
live as a beautiful memory in the
hearts of those who knew and loved
her.

to Miss Ida Mclaughlin. Every
one of the young ladies did very
nicely. While this contest was open
to boys, not one appeared to repre-
sent a school of the several belong
ing to this. district. This would
seem to Indicate greater ambition
on the part of young ladies to aspire
to prominence along this line than
the young men, and perhaps when
we have "women's rights" in a future
generation that the girls of to-day
will be prepared to cast more in
telligent vote than the men they are
going to marry.
