Obituary.
JOSEPH F. GRIGGS, 746.
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.
Tn 1847, after graduation from Brown
University, he entered the Yale Law
In
1865, he was a Senator in the Massachu-
setts Legislature. and in 1870 was ap-
pointed by President Grant. U. S.
District Attorney for the Western
District of Texas. Afterwards Mr.

pointed judge advocate on his staff.
