Professor Joseph Franklin Griggs, 746, a short obituary of whom was published in the last issue of the Weekly, was the son of John and Mary Griggs and was born at Sutton, Mass., April 24, 1822. He prepared for College at Leicester Academy, enter- ing in 1842. The greater part of his life was spent in educational work in Western Pennsylvania, but in 1892 an attack of paralysis incapacitated him for further actice service. He sént a pleasant greeting to his classmates at their semi-centennial anniversary in June last, regretting that his health would not permit him to be present. He was married April 16, 1863, to Bliza B., daughter of Dr. J. B. Brooks, of Pittsburgh. His widow and four chil- dren survive him. In the Presbyterian Banner, N. H. S., writes as follows of Professor Griggs: “In the death of Professor Joseph F. Griggs, which occurred in this city April 1Ist,a wide circle of friends experienced a feeling of per- sonal loss. To few men is accorded in so large a degree the power which was his, of winning and retaining friends, and this, with but little effort on his part, for all who came wm contact with him, either as friends or acquaintan- ces, were attracted towards him and felt the charm of his personality. “During his long illness, trying as it must have been to one whose life had been a life of ceaseless activity, he was always the same courteous, unselfish, patient gentleman that he was in happier days, and when death came at last it seemed but the round- ing out of an already almost complete life, and an entrance to a higher sphere, for which he was well pre- pared. “The influence of such a life is he- yond all estimate, and how far it may extend cannot be measured, but one thing is certain, by his kindness, his Christian courtesy, and his unselfish life he has set in motion imvulses which will stir others to continue the work he has laid down, and though he is dead he will yet speak.” EDWIN L. BARNEY, °49 L. S. Edwin L. Barney, the oldest lawyer of New Bedford, Mass., died recently. He was born in Swansea, Mass., in 1827.
