M, 128th Inf., of the 32nd division throughout the duration of World War I. After his discharge from the army, he completed his High school course and studied law in Indianapolis. He was admitted to the bar in the State of Indiana. For the past 14 years he has held the position of credit manager of the Defiance Production Credit Corporation.
His marriage to the former Miss Margaret Otis took place in Payne, Ohio, on Febr. 3, 1928.
Survivors are the widow and three daughters, Carole, 16, Sally 14, and Baby Ann who is fifteen months old. His passing is also mourned by his brother Walter, Oconto Falls, and one sister, Mrs. Homer Hubbard of Libertyville, Ill., who will be remembered as Kate Patterson. Two sisters, Carol and Nell, preceded him in death.
The Pattersons visited in Oconto Falls in August, and at that time Grant appeared to be in excellent health. He had many friends in this area of the state who will mourn his death, and was held in high regard by all who knew him.
Sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved family by all.
