GRIGG, PASSES AWAY AFTER ILLNESS LASTING YEAR (Waterloo-Journal) Death removed on© of Waterloo’s leading citizens on Thursday after­ noon last in the person of Benjamin Wills Newton Grigg, who died at his home, 84 Water street, in his 64tli year. The late Mr. prigg suffered a nervous breakdown about a year ago and has been in ailing health since then. It is believed that he suffered a stroke just prior to his death Thursday afternoon. Pos­ sessed of a kind and genial person­ ality, he reflected charm both in his home and 'business life. Born in Exeter on August 20th, 1865, he moved to Waterloo sixteen years ago to accept a position with the Mutual Life Assurance Company where >he was advertising manager at the time of his death. He came to Waterloo from" Montreal, where he had been connected with the Sun Life Assurance company for eleven years. In social, as well as business life, Mr. Grigg was prominent. He was past president of the Canadian Club and a valued member of the First United church. Elected to the lib­ rary board four years ago, Mr. Grigg served on that body faithfully and was chairman in 1927. Before being taken ill he was chairman of the publicity committee of the board of trade for a number of years and was responsible in no little degree for the editing of Waterloo.’# 'book­ let entitled “What’s this about Waterloo?” He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Dorothy, of Port Arthur, and two sons, David and Leonard, at home. Two brothers, Bert, ot Montreal, and Rev. Ernest, mission­ ary in India, located at present in Texas, and one sister Mary, of Exe­ ter, also survive. The funeral was held Sunday af­ ternoon at 2 o’clock from the late residence, 84 Water street, to the Mount Hope cemetery for interment. Services were in charge of Rev. Fin­ lay Matheson, pastor of the First United Church. —- FEATURING —. A western picture that has been drawing]great crowds in larger places. Admission:- 25 and 40c.
