| 4586 | Joined in July Several matrimonial events taking place last evening. Daly-Gritton For some time it has been hinted by many that Frank Gritton was soon to number himself among the benedicts. The rumors settled into certainty yesterday when a license to wed was issued to Frank M. Gritton and Miss Cynthia Daly by the county clerk. The wedding was a quiet one, and took place in the parlors of the Episcopal rectory. Only the witnesses and the relatives of the contracting parties were present. Mr. Gritton is well known in Danville, where he has always lived. When but a mere lad he entered the service of the Illinois Printing Co. as an apprentice in the press-room, and by industry rose rapidly through the various stages of "devil" to the level of a finished workman. He was for some time an employ of the Marshall Times, and resigned to accept a similar position on The Press. He is at present working for the Illinois Printing Co. The bride, Miss Cynthia Daly, is well known as a young lady of rare personal charms and mental attainments. The young couple will reside in a cosy little home on Sherman street. May the shadows never gather on the horizon of their married life nor tempest threaten the calm of their peaceful happiness. Newspaper clipping from Cora (Gritton) Hedges.

| 4594 | Journal and Courier, Lafayette, Indiana. Friday, 5 May 1922. Woman hurt in storm is dying. Mrs. Anthony Gritton, who lost three children at Hedrick, develops lockjaw. Mrs. Anthony Gritton, of Hedrick, Ind., who was badly injured in the big cyclone Monday evening, April 17, when two of her children were killed and the third fatally injured, is at the point of death at Lakeview, Danville, Ill., with lockjaw. The anti-tetanus serum treatment seems to have little effect and physicians and nurses hold out little hope for her recovery. Mrs. Gritton developed blood poisoning a few days after the accident, but the presence of tetanus was not noted until some time afterward. On account of her poor physical condition the disease made rapid progress. Her six-year-old son, Paul Gritton, was instantly killed in the blow and three-months-old baby Ruth was also found dead among some debris in the field, and a four-year-old son, Ivan, died at Lakeview hospital the next day. | Gritton, Anthony Dingler (I547)
