| 1ully IQllllluS all lne ODlSdllOub OA life He was S1 years old at the time
 of his death. and an active factor in the worlds work. Mining interests in Arizona owe him an important debt by reason of the work he has accom- plishnd in re5rganizing the mines of the Tombstone district and putting them on a solid financial basis, and the entire state is better and more prosperous by reason of his many years of straightforward and progress sive work.
 He was born in Tecumseb, Lenawec county, Michigan, Feb. 26. 1857, and Is a son of Ortes c. and Elinor Lou den. Grew The paternal branch of this family comes of old colonial stock, MT. Grows grandfather, Asa Grow, having been the son of John Grow, who served in tEc Continental army during the Revolutionary war.
 Artena as l. Glr " IS che of a family of seven children. Two of his broth CTS were killed in the Civil war, and he also was veteran of that conflict, having served in the United States navy under McKeen in the Gulf squad ron. and under Du Pont, Foot and Dahlgren in the South Atlantic.
 After the close of hostilities he still continued in the service, and was ordered to the ironclad Monadnock as one of the engineers. Upon that yes sel he made the trip from Philadel- phia to San Francisco, travelling from November, 1865, to June, 1866. Upon his arrival at the latter city he was transferred to the Vanderbilt, and later to the Saginaw, and remained in the service until 1868, when he was honorably discharged. being mustered out in Ne wYork on Oct. 31 of that year.
 In 1869 Nr. Grow returned to Cali. fornia and from there came, in March, 1870, to Arizona, of which state he has been a continuous resident for A years. The last 34 years were spent in Tombstone, and during that time he was connected with various mines and mills in that district as manager and superintendent. In 1895 and 1896 he attempted the reorganization of the mines around Tombstone, which were then in a very precarious finan' cial condition. As superintendent of the Tranquility mine he labored until he was able to pay off all of the old debts contracted by the former op- erating company, and afterward reor- ganized the concern under the name of the Tombstone Mines Consolidated Company, Limited In 1900 he had the work of reconstruction well under way and transferred all of the bonds on the different companies and all claims and rights to E. B. Gage, who finished the work in 1901. MT. Grow was appointed secretary of the new concern. On July IS, 1911, the Tomb stone Mines Consolidated Company, Limited went into bankruptcy and he was elected and qualified as trustee with full charge of all the affairs of the corporation. He has since ably carried on the mining operations and has accomplished such excellent re- suits that the royalties have been suf- ficient to pay all the taxes and other obligations and leave a fair fund re- maining in the treasury. Mir. Grow conducted this work of reconstruction and organization in a masterly way, evidencing in everything he did the splendid executive and administrative ability, the foresight, shrewdness and enterprise of an able and judiciSIs business man, and the finished work stands as a gratifying testimonial of his ability and public spirit.
 Since 1914 Mir. Grow had made his home in Sawtelle. Cal. In politics he was until 1896 an adherent to the re- publican party, but since that date had voted independently, supporting men and measures rather than marty He had always been intelligently in terested in public affairs, but the only office he had held was that of super visor of Yuma county, a position to which he was elected in 1876. His re- ligion is simple but comprehensive in it's scope, embracing as it aid in the words of the Golden Rule. Through out his life he had lived up to it's precepts, never seeking his own ad- vancement through the misfortunes of others.
 Fraternally he is connected with the Masonic order, holding membership in the chapter. commandery and con sistory. and has kept in touch with his comrades of 50 years ago through his connection with the Grand Army of the Republic. He was a life mem Der in the latter sOcieyt, and was the Der in the latter society and was the serving as it's first commander. His life has at all times been commend able one, and in matters of citizenship he has ever displayed the same patri- otic spirit which he manifested as soldier on southern battle fields.
