Many readers of the RECORD will regret to learn of the serious illness of Thompson Griswold, a well-known farmer and most excellent man, who is rapidly nearing the end of an honourable and useful life, the victim of an incurable attack of Bright's disease of the kidneys. Harvey Thompson Griswold died at home Monday of Bright's disease of the kidneys. Mr. Griswold has been in feeble health for a long time and although his death has been expected for some time, it was a shock to his many friends when it came. Mr. Griswold has been a lifelong resident of Castleton and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was 65 years of age. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock from his late residence and was largely attended. OBITUARY Harvey Thompson Griswold Harvey Thompson Griswold, who died Monday of last week at his farm on the lake road in the town of Castleton, was one of the best farmers in the town and a man universally esteemed for integrity and all the traits of character tending to make the kind and quiet neighbor and useful citizen. Mr. Griswold was born in Castleton July 4, 1833, and ended his days on the same farm which for many years had been the home of his worthy father, the late Harvey Griswold, and with the exception of a few years in which he worked at his trade as a builder with his brother-in-law, Frank Davis, in North Adams, all of his days were passed in his native town. His funeral was held from his late home the Wednesday following his death. Religious services were conducted by Rev A. Taylor, rector of the Episcopal church, Fair Haven. The burial was in the family lot in the Castleton Cemetery. The procession accompanying the remains was one of the largest ever seen in the town. F. E. Mascott had charge and the following were pall bearers: John Stephenson, Horatio Barney, Wm. Brown, L. Culver, Edward Sherman, Horace Moody. Mr. Griswold is survived by his widow, two sons and two daughters. Sadly I have only the clippings, not the name of the newspapers. John McCarty __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
