Husband Finds His Wife Dead in Bed: AH Griffin Goes to Say Good-Bye to His Wife and Finds Her Lifeless Body

Going to his wife’s room this morning to say good-bye to her, previous to his departure for his day’s work at the New Castle Knitting Co’s plant, AH Griffin found his wife, Mrs. Anna T. Griffin, dead. While she had not been in the best of health recently, her condition was not considered serious and she had complained of no pain when she retired last evening at the usual hour. Her husband heard no sound during the night and it was not known until this morning that her death became known. She had suffered a stroke during the night but how long she had been dead is only a matter of conjecture.

Mrs. Griffin was 55 years of age. She was born in Pittsburgh but had spent much of her life in Butler, coming to this city from that place. Her parents were James L and Martha Pattison Hamilton. Since coming to this city she had made many friends who will be shocked to learn of her sudden death.

The funeral will be held at the residence Sunday afternoon at 2:30 PM and interment will be made in Greenwood Cemetery.

The funeral of Mrs. Anna T. Griffin, wife of AH Griffin, was held at the family residence Sunday afternoon and was attended by many friends and relatives. The services were conducted by Rev SMF Nesbitt of the Central Presbyterian Church. Many beautiful floral offerings testified to the love and esteem of friends. The interment was made in Greenwood Cemetery and the pallbearers were Messrs. Reuoff, Siebaunller, Elliott, and Stuart.

Mrs. Griffin’s death was the second to occur in her own family in a short time, a sister having died some months ago. She is survived by her husband and by 2 sisters, Mrs. Margaret Keifer of Morgantown, WVA, and Mrs. Agnes L Moore, and by 2 brothers, Albert and Edward Hamilton of this city.

Part of Knitting Mills Operating

It was expected that the New Castle Knitting Mills would be ready to start in full this morning but owing to numerous difficulties always attendant in getting a new plant in operation only a few of the machines could be started. It is expected that the plant can be placed in full operation by the end of the week.
