CAPT. CHARLES GRANT.
He united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1871. During his last illness he frequently said: " I have no fear of death, " lingering without complaint or murmur, only waiting to be called hence. When near the last he said: " I am going home, " and to friends who gathered near he beckoned not . to weep for him. January 11, 1885, he passed away, full of years and followed by the love of all who knew the excellence of his thoroughly manly character. To mourn him he leaves a wife, five sons—C. W. Grant, secretary East Sagi-naw board of trade, Rev. Elihu Grant of Fall River, Mass., Eugene Grant, Glyndon, Minn., Isaac Grant of Reed City, and Loring Grant, who is living on the homestead in Bengal; and four daughters—Mrs. B. F. Young and Mrs. Frank Harvey of Bengal, Mrs. John Duncombe, Union City, Pa., and Mrs. M. L. Welter of St. Johns; twenty-one grandchildren, and twelve great-grandchildren.
