Joseph H. Grant.

Joseph H. Grant, the son of William and Hannah Grant, was born in Stark county, Ohio, March 19th, 1843, and departed this life at his late home in Howard, Kansas, April 14th, 1916, aged 73 years and 25 days.

Mr. Grant was the last one of a family of eight children and has no relatives living except a number of distant ones living in and about our city.

Mr. Grant was married to Margaret Bowman January 24th, 1864, in Etna Green, Kosiusko county, Indiana. No children came to bless this union, but their home has been the home of the orphan, there having been in their home at one time seven motherless children. One of these, Mrs. Hillis of Jennings, Oklahoma, has been with Mr. Grant part of the time during his last illness.

In the year of 1870 they moved to Crawford county, Kansas, and the following spring to their farm 2 miles northeast of Howard, residing there until moving to Howard five years ago.

Our departed brother and comrade was a member of Company F, 74th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, having enlisted in the summer of ’62 and was discharged on account of disability in the fall of ’63.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Harry E. Crane at the First M. E. church Howard, Kansas, Sunday April 16th, 1916, and interment was made in Grace Lawn cemetery, the burial service being conducted by the Edwin M. Stanton Post No. 28 G. A. R., assisted by the Woman’s Relief Corps.
