F. W. Grant
Frederick William Grant (1834–1902) was a Brethren biblical scholar, renowned for his studies in the structural and numerical form and content. Biography. F. W. Grant was born on 25 July 1834 in the Putney area of London. Educated at King's College School, London in the hope of eventual employment in the British War Office, when this course failed, he emigrated to Canada, initially joining and being ordained into the Anglican Church there. He moved again to the US and New York, finding a final home in New Jersey. He became associated with a group of exclusive  brethren which eventually became known as the Grant fellowship. He published numerous books based on his scriptural studies and in 1880 "Help and Food" a monthly magazine was launched and edited by Grant until his death. He died in Plainfield, New Jersey on the 25th July 1902 which coincidentally was his 68 birthday. An Obituary in "Help and Food" (September 1902) records F. W. Grant's death on Friday, July 25, 1902, and his burial "on Lord’s Day, his sixty-eight birthday." Though technically the magazine was incorrect as his burial on Sunday was two days after his birthday
