Olson, at the age of 76 years. The funeral was held from the Methodist church Wednesday morning, the Rev. Henry Attenborough conducting the service, with the music arranged by Mr. M. B. Reese. Interment was in the Ritzville cemetery. Mrs. Griffith, whose maiden name was Anna E. Wall, was born in Stockton, Calif., May 28, 1857 and she was married to Wm. C. Griffith May 19, 1878. The came to Adams county in 1887, settling on a homestead at what became prominently known as Griffith's Corners, about eight miles north of Ritzville. Here in the early days developed a community center, with a store and post office operated by Mr. Griffith, and many of the early settlers will recall the happy social gaterings that took place at Griffith Corners. A small cemetery, now abandoned, stands as a silent reminder of the early period in the history of that locaity. Mr. and Mrs. Griffith left the farm in 1905 when they moved to Spokane and five years ago at Millwood they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Mrs. Griffith had a large circle of friends. She was an ardent Christian, devoting much of her time, when able, to church work and community betterment. She was a member of the Corbin Park Congregational church of Spokane and of the Homemakers' club of Freeman. Owing to the advanced age, Mrs. Griffith's health broke and she and her husband retured to Ritzville two years ago to reside with Mrs. Olson. She had been bedfast since May. Surviving members of the family consist of the husband, two daughters; Edith S. Olson of Ritzville and Bertha E. Thomas of Spokane; and two sons, George L. of Langhley Prairie, Canada and Elmer M. of Rathdrum Idaho, as well as 14 grandchildred and 2 great-grandchildren.
