PROMINENT LOCAL WOMAN IS CALLED
Mrs. M. M. Granger, whose funeral services will be held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William D. Schultz, 243 Putnam avenue, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, interment private, was long an outstanding figure in the life of this community.
Mrs. Granger came of distinguished parentage, as her father was General William J. Reese, of Lancaster, O., who served with distinction in the war with Mexico, and her mother was Elizabeth Sherman, elder sister of General William T. and Senator John Sherman, both of whom played such prominent parts in the making of history in the United States during the Civil war and afterwards.
Mrs. Granger came to Zanesville as a young bride in 1858 and, by her beauty and her charm, she immediately took a commanding position in the community where, with the exception of frequent trips to Europe, and winters in Florida and elswhere, she spent her entire life, and her home on Muskingum avenue was, until the death of Judge Granger in 1913, the scene of many distinguished social gatherings as her hospitable doors were always open
She was a devoted member of St. James Episcopal church, and took an active interest in all civic and charitable organizations to the last of which she was always a generous contributor.
For two years, in the early days of the D.A.R. in Ohio, she served as state regent of that patriotic organization, and was also a member of the Colonial Dames of America.
She is survived by three children; one daughter, Mrs. William D. Shultz, with whom she spent the last years of her long and rich life, and two sons, Alfred H. Granger, an architect of Chicago, now residing in Washington, D. C., and Sherman M. Granger, of this city, all of whom were with her at the last. She also leaves three granddaughters; Mrs. Charles E. Brown, Jr., of New York City, Mrs. Chester D. Shepard, of Menasha, Wisconsin, and Mrs. Granger Blair, of Washington, D. C., and six great-grandchildren.
The passing away of Mrs. Granger marks the end of an era in the life of this city, as she was the last of the generation which made Ohio famous. In her quiet way she alwasy stood for what our grandparents regarded as the gracious amenities of life and her presence will long be remembered by her many friends here and elswhere.
Interment in Woodlawn cemetery.
