Griffith, one of Stettler's most prominent business men, died on Thursday of Bright's disease, after a short illness of two weeks. He was born in Middlesex County, Ontario, forty-eight years ago. He farmed there for ten years, when he moved to Manitoba, where he farmed for two years. He then moved to Red Deer, where for two years he was a farm instructor at the Government farm. He then moved to Stettler, starting up a flour, feed and implement store in 1906, which business he has successfully engaged in up to the time of his death. Mr. Griffith always took a keen interest in public affairs, and for three years served as councillor in Stettler, and was only prevented from taking the mayorship through ill health. He was a man of sterling qualities, generous to a fault and ever ready to lend a helping hand wherever required and his loss will be keenly felt in the town and district. He had two sons in the war. Meredith, who was killed and Granton, who was wounded and is in a hospital in England. He leaves a wife, two sons (Granton and Pendleton) and two daughters (Mabel and Alma) the latter having the distinction of being the first girl born in Stettler. The funeral was held today and was the largest ever seen here. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, testifying to the esteem in which the deceased was held. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved ones. Red Deer News, November 27, 1918, page 1 Alberta Death Reg. #1918-08-004476
