    Notes:

    From History of Vermilion County. By H.W. Beckwith. Chicago, Illinois, H.H. Hill and Company, 1879. page 887.
    J.R. Gritton came here from Kentucky in 1840, and bought land of the estate of Abram Rees. Mr. Rees owned a farm on section 23, and while at work building a mill at Denmark, died. Mr. Gritton had a family of five children, only three of whom survive. One was killed a year since by Mr. Clem, in a difficulty growing out of the lease of a piece of land. One of Mr. Gritton's first acts, after coming on to his farm, was the selection and planting of an excellent orchard, which, owing to his good judgement and care, was for a long time a source of increased revenue. Gritton's orchard was known far and near as one of the best in this neck of woods. He never has been a member of any church, but his conversation shows that he has a true appreciation of the results of a sincere religious life in a community like this. The now aged couple are saddened in their last days by the tragedy which took the life of a dear son.

    (LKH Note: The son who was killed was Milo B. Gritton whose widow, Ellen Gerrard, later married Samuel Shumate.)

    Was There Thirteen Days Before She Passed Away – Heirs are Investigating the Case.
    There is something of a mystery surrounding the disappearance of $1,633 from the estate of the late Mrs. Mary Sivey, the aged woman who died at her home on the north side on the 12th day of last month.
    It is claimed that the money was taken from the mattress upon which she died sometimes shortly before she died or directly thereafter. At any rate the money was there several days previous to her death and it is claimed that afterwards it suddenly disappeared. The original amount was $1,783, so the story goes, and when it was looked for after her death there was but $150 left. The case is being investigated and there may be some arrests or civil proceedings instituted by the administrator when one is appointed.
    It was not generally known that Mrs. Sivey was possessed of much of the world’s good, but J.R. Sivey, one of the heirs to the estate, who is up from Pittsburg investigating the matter gives out the statement that his mother had a large amount of money. According to his story she had $1,783 secreted in the mattress of her bed and that it was sewed up securely so that it would have been impossible for any common burglar to have stolen it. He is authority for the statement that the money was there thirteen days before his aged mother died and that afterwards it suddenly disappeared. That was the last he and other member of the family saw of the roll of greenbacks, the money all being in bills of small denominations, the largest said to be $20. He also says that he and three of his brothers, C.M., R.C. and Scott Sivey saw the money in the mattress when they realized that their mother could not live, and that it was replaced in the same position that it was when found. On the same day of the funeral he says, they went to look after the personal effects and the money and discovered to their surprise that all by $150 of the money had been taken. He says he has his suspicions but in the absence of any proof he cannot make any direct charges. The pocket book in which the money was secreted was found in the loft of the house where she died.
    The deceased had nine children and all of them will come in for a share of the estate when it is divided they were up in Judge Cheney’s office last evening preparing the proofs of claims and making ready to apply for the appointment of an administrator of the small estate, and the matter of the missing money will be investigated.

    M.L.Gritton suffered a stroke of paralysis Tuesday.
    Marion L. Gritton, one of South Danville's oldest and most respected residents, died yesterday morning at 5;15 o'clock, after a very short illness.

    Laban Gritten is classed among the leading farmers and stock raisers of Pilot Township, he having contributed much towards making it a great agricultural center. His farm on section 22 is comparable with the finest and best in this section of Vermilion County, is so cultivated as to produce large harvests, and its buildings and all other appointments are first-class. Mr. Gritten has evolved this desirable farm from the wild prairies of Illinois, as they were many years ago, before they had been changed by cultivation, it having been government land when he purchased it more than thirty years ago, and situated in the midst of a sparsely populated, scarcely civilized country.
    Mr. Gritten is a Kentuckian by birth, born in Mercer County, Jan. 19, 1832. His father, John R. Gritten, was born in the same county in 1807. He married Nancy Atkinson, who was born there in 1806, and they came to this county with their family in 1842, and located on a farm of 120 acres, pleasantly situated in Blount Township, where they have built up a comfortable home, and now, in life's decline are enjoying the hard-earned fruits of their united labor. Three of the children that have blessed their union are still living: Ann, residing in Danville Township, is the widow of Frank Watson, of Ohio, and has five children - William John, Nancy J., Margaret and Martha; Lloyd married Sarah Gritten, daughter of one of the first settles of the county, and they have four children - Wesley, Annie, Ella and Elisha; Laban is the subject of this sketch, and we write further on him.
    We have seen that his parents brought him there in pioneer times, when he was a mere lad, and here they bred him to a life of usefulness, and fitted him for an honorable career, and to their careful training he doubtless owes much of his prosperity. He became many, self-reliant and a good worker, and in early manhood prudently invested his money in government land, proposing to make farming his life work, and purchased 320 acres of land at twenty-five cents an acre. He now has the land all under excellent cultivation, and has greatly increased its value by the many fine improvements that he has made, including substantial buildings, etc. He does a general farming business, has his farm well stocked with stock of high grades, from the sale of which he makes good profits, and he raises a good deal of grain and other farm produce, from which he derives an income amply sufficing to carry on his agricultural operations in good shape, and for all his personal wants.
    Mr. Gritten has been twice married. His first wife was a Miss Sarah Potter, who was a English descent, and her father, an early settle of this part of Illinois, took part in the black Hawk War under General Taylor. Five children were born to our subject in that union, of whom one died; the others are Orsmus, Charles, Edward and Thomas. Orsmus, a carpenter in Danville, married Miss May Gritten; Charles, living with his father on the homestead, married Matilda Gritten, and they have seven children - Clarence, Arthur, Orsmus, Elzora, Oliver, Ross and Rock. Edward, a farmer in this, married Miss Bell Davis, of Ohio, and they have one child, Jesse B.; Thomas, a blacksmith at Bixby, married Martha Schank, and they have three children - Earl, Maude and Olive.
    For his second wife Mr. Gritten married Miss Lydia Pile, a native o Breckenridge County, Ky., and of their eleven children the following five are living: Oracena, Alvina, Jacob, Eli and William.
    William and Elizabeth Pile were the parents of Mrs. Gritten, the father a native of Virginia, the mother a native of Kentucky, and both are deceased.
    Mr. Gritten may well be proud of his farm, whose increased value is due to his hard labor and excellent business capacity and management. He possesses sober judgment, keen discernment and a resolute nature that has overcome all obstacles in the path to success. In his political views he sides with the Democrats, and give his hearty approval to party measures.

Rev. Clay F. Gaumer, pastor of the Christian church at Alvin, was in charge and the interment was at the Johnson cemetery.

    Mrs. Watson had been ill for several months, due to old age and its infirmities and passed away in the same house that she had called her home for more than fifty years. Mrs. Watson was apparently in her usual state of health when she arose Saturday, until a few minutes before noon, when a sudden attack of heart trouble caused her to fall over, death resulting in a few minutes.

She was born in Hardin county, Sept. 9, 1833, the daughter of John R. and Nancy Atkinson Gritton, and came with them to this county in 1841.

    Pioneer resident died yesterday.
    Mrs. Ann Watson, resident of Vermilion county since 1841, passed away at her home.
    Mrs. Ann Watson, known to many of her friends and acquaintances as "Grandma" Watson, passed away yesterday morning, April 6, 1918, at 11:10 o'clock. The death of Mrs. Watson who was one of the oldest pioneer residents of Vermilion county, occurred at her home, nine miles north and one-half mile west, of Danville. She passed away in the house in which she had lived for more than a half century.

    While Mrs. Watson had been in ill health for some time, due to the infirmities of old age, her death was unexpected and came with startling suddenness to her relatives and wide circle of friends. She was apparently in her usual health when she arose yesterday morning but was stricken with an attack of heart trouble shortly before 11 o'clock and died within a few minutes.

    Born in Kentucky
    Ann Gritton was a native of Kentucky, and was born in that state on Sept. 9, 1833, the daughter of the later John R. and Nancy Atkinson Gritton, pioneer residents of that state. When only eight years old the deceased came to Vermilion county with her parents, and settled on a farm in the vicinity in which her death occurred. That was in 1841, when Indians roamed the prairies of this state, and Danville was a village of less than 100 inhabitants.

    Ann Gritton was united in Marriage to Francis Watson, a member of a pioneer family, more than sixty years ago, and they went to housekeeping on the farm where the aged woman died yesterday. Seven children were born to Mrs. Watson. Two died in infancy. The surviving children are: Mrs. Nancy DeMoss, Mrs. Sarah Ann Smith, Mrs. Mattie I. Moss, William and John F. Watson.

    The husband died thirty -one years ago, and since his death the widow with the assistance of the sons, had conducted the farm. Mrs. Watson was an estimable woman and was greatly beloved by her neighbors and friends. She had always been active in church work and in sickness or death was among the firs to visit the afflicted home and offer her services.

    Funeral Monday.
    The funeral of the aged woman will be conducted Monday morning at 11 o'clock, old time, the residents of the neighborhood in which she lived having failed to adopt the new time. Rev. Clay F. Gaumer, pastor of the Alvin M.E. church, will have charge of the services, which will be held from the Union Chapel, and the body will be laid to rest in the Johnson cemetery.

    Milo was killed by David Clem when Milo came to the aid of his nephew William Watson. See Danville Commercial [News], 26 September 1878.


    In an altercation at Danville, between David Clem and Miles Gritton, the former cut Gritton's throat from ear to ear with a bowie knife, causing immediate death. During the struggle Clem was stabbed in the bowels and will surely die.
    The Illinois State Journal, Springfield, Illinois. Wednesday, 25 September 1878, page 4.


    An old feud, growing out of the renting of a farm in Vermillion County, terminated at Danville, on the 19th, between David Clem and Milo Gritton, by the former cutting the latter's throat, he dying instantly, Clem receiving a gash in his bowels which is liable to prove fatal. Clem has resided in that county for a great many years, and was at one time a candidate for Sheriff, though of late years his influence has been on the wane.

    About 7 o'clock, on the morning of the 15th, a fight took place near Danville, in which David Clem cut Miles Gritton's throat from ear to ear, from which he died immediately. Clem was also stabbed in the bowels, whether by himself or Gritton is not known. He will probably die from the effects of his wounds. It seems Clem had rented a farm to Gritton and they had a difficulty in dividing the fruit, and the rencontre was occasioned by a lawsuit regarding this division.

    From Ear to Ear.
    Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
    Danville, Ill., September 19. - About 7 o'clock, on the morning of the 15th, a fight took place near Danville, in which David Clem cut Miles Gritton's throat from ear to ear, from which he died immediately. Clem was also stabbed in the bowels, whether by himself or Gritton is not known. He will probably die from the effects of his wounds. It seems Clem had rented a farm to Gritton and they had a difficulty in dividing the fruit. This morning Clem met William Watson, one of Gritton's witnesses in a suit which terminated unfavorably to Clem, and they engaged in a hand-to-hand fight, when Gritton, who was sowing wheat in a field near by, came over to help Watson. Clem at once made for him with the result as stated above.

    Notes:

    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.

    Wedding Sunday
    R.E. Gritton and Mrs. F.E. Bonslet Married By Rev. Penhallegon.
    The marriage of R. E. Gritton and Mrs. F.E. Bonslet occurred Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock at the residence of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. E.M. Fleming, 538 East William street. Both of the bride and groom live in Danville but the former at one time resided in Decatur and made her home with her aunt and for that reason the wedding was held in this city.
    The ceremony was performed by Rev. W.H. Penhallegon, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. About fifteen persons were present, part of them being from Danville. The attendants were Miss Rosa Bell, a sister of the bride, and James McRoberts, ferns and plants. The bride wore a gown of blue India linen and carried a bouquet of bride’s roses and the brides maid wore a costume of white India linen and carried red liberty. The house was prettily decorated with roses.
    After the ceremony there was a wedding supper, the table being decorated with smilax and pink and white asters. Many handsome presents, including silverware, cut glass and table linen, were received.
    The couple left at 11:32 p.m. for Danville where they will make their home and where the groom has a newly furnished house. He was for nine years a printer on the Danville Press.

    Friends gave her a surprise
    (Press-Democrat Special.)
    Fairmount, Ill., Sept. 2. - One of the most delightful entertainments of the season was the birthday surprise on Mrs. Geo. Hedges last Sunday, at her home northeast of the village. The event was planned and executed by her husband and daughters. While Mrs. Hedges was busily engaged in serving dinner to some friends who had accompanied her home from Sunday school and church, her friends to the number of seventy-five or more slipped into the front rooms of her home and came marching out to the dining room with her mother in the lead, which, by the way, was a great surprise, the latter having come out from Danville.

    The afternoon was spent in a social and religious way. About 4 o'clock the crowd repaired to the front yard where some fifteen or twenty minutes was devoted to song and prayer, and the breaking of bread, which was presided over by Rev. Scott, of Danville, after which the remainder of the evening was spent in song, and social conversation, and the eating of cream, cake and candy and fruit, and a general good time was enjoyed by all. One singular feature connected with their gathering was that the hostess was surprised on her 18th birthday in 1888, in the same house where she now lives. Mrs. Hedges was the recipient of many beautiful pieces of china.
