Read More	From page 1 of the July 20, 1905 Skidmore, Missouri New Era newspaper: Death of Mrs. John Grigsby Died at her home in Monroe township at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning, July 11, 1905, Mrs. John Grigsby aged 77 years, 8 months and 19 days. Clarissa P. Hays was the daughter of Thomas R. and Mary (McDonald) Hays, and was born in 1828 in Washington county, Ky. When only an infant her parents moved to Illinois settling near Blandinsville, where they remained until 1855. September 7, 1848 she was married to John Grigsby. The only child they had which grew up was Mrs. Fred Barber who died in Monroe township about three years ago. In 1859 the Hays and Grigsby families moved to Missouri, settling at Burr Oak Grove in the western part of what is now Monroe township in Nodaway county on April 4, 1859. Mrs. Grigsby was a very capable woman taking charge of affairs while her husband was away as Captain in the Union Army, one of her children dying at that time during the father's absence. She was converted in early life and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, living a consistent and useful Christian life up to the hour of her departure. She was a faithful wife, loving mother and kind neighbor. Her home was the home for the homeless and her mother love was deep and strong enough to include not only those dear ones that God had given her, but others who had been robbed of mother by the cruel hand of death, found refuge in her home and kind motherly heart. She presided with simplicity and dignity in the home, and extended a welcome and an unstinted hospitality to all who came under the rooftree of her husband, Captain John Grigsby. She was already ready for the summons of her Divine Master, and although somewhat sudden, she was willing to cease the labor of this life to be forever at rest with God. Mrs. Grigsby had been in good health until Friday, June 30, when while about her household duties without warning, she fell over unconscious in what is thought to have been a cataleptic attack, remaining so over two hours. She revived somewhat from this first attack, and was up and down until last Saturday when she again became unconscious and remained so until her death. She leaves besides her husband the following brothers and sisters to mourn the loss of one who was always a comfort: W. R. Hays of Denver, Colo.; J. T. Hays of Maryville; John G. and Joseph W., and Isabel Hays of Monroe township; Mrs. J. E. Hudson of Maryville and Mrs. H. H. Coston of Wray, Colorado. Funeral services were held Wednesday, July 12, at Burr Oak, conducted by Rev. E. B. Lytle, after which the remains were laid to rest in Burr Oak Cemetery, beside those of her parents. - Maryville Republican
