When Mr. Grow moved to Massena from Hogansburg in 1900 he erected a home on Elm Circle. Later he started a rim bending factory at the Springs and made wagon rims, hubs, and spokes, the building standing where the Dairyman's League structure is today. He also built a double tenement house house on East Orvis Street and the home at 307 Main Street. He conducted a lumber business on Main Street for a number of years, but since 1918 when he suffered his first stroke he was forced to conserve his health and retire from work.
Mr. Grow was born in St. Anicet, Quebec, January 6, 1861, and was the son of Peter and Matilda Grow. He was one of thirteen children, all of whom are dead.
When he was but 12 years old he came to the United Stated and settled at Hogansburg where later he conducted a blacksmith shop in connection with a lumber yard and cattle business. He was naturalized and became a United States citizen soon after he was 21 years old.
He was married to Miss Ellen Electa Vanier, May 23, 1883, at Brasher Falls. She with five children and three grandchildren survive.
