Griggs, who was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in May, 1862, and was reared there and in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The family afterward removed to Grand Forks, where her father, John Griggs, became a prominent steamboat man. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Witt were born two sons; Charles E. and Fred B., both born at Grand Forks, North Dakota. The latter is engaged in the grain, lumber and coal business in Shell Rock. The former, born April 8, 1882, has always been connected with the newspaper business, acting as assistant to his father for a long period, during which time he thoroughly acquainted himself with the work of newspaper publication in principle and detail. Soon after his father purchased the Shell Rock News he became an equal partner in its ownership, and in 1910 he purchased the paper, of which he is now sole owner and proprietor. This is a bright, newsy sheet, carefully edited, and its circulation is a large and growing one, owing to the enterprising methods followed by Mr. Witt. In 1910 Charles Witt was appointed postmaster at Shell Rock and his term expired in January, 1914. He gave efficient service during his administration. On the 19th of May, 1906, he wedded Maude L. Waite, a native of Belvidere, Illinois, and a daughter of Judson Waite. Fraternally he is connected with the Elks, the Masons and the Knights of Pythias, and his political support is given to the republican party.
