George Marion Grow was born in the town of Ossian, N. Y., October 9, 1849; and died at Alfred, N. Y., September 6, 1922, in the seventy-third year of his age. He was one of eight children born to Martin and Huldah Hood Grow. In early life he was baptized by the late William C. Kenyon and joined the Hartsville, N. Y., Seventh Day Baptist Church. In 1877 he and Myrta May Shaw were united in marriage. Their four children are Mrs. Lester Burdick and Mrs. Clifford Potter, of Alfred; Mrs. Eva Miller, of Hornell; and Miss Julia, a teacher at Industry, N. Y. A few years ago Mr. Grow moved to Alfred to be nearer the daughters living here. One of the best things that can be said of any husband and father is that he was fond of home and family. A. E. M.
