Charles Wesley Grant was born on June 7, 1864, at Randolph, Ala., and died at his home, near Olustee, Okla., on April 14, 1918. Brother Grant carried good cheer and earnestness with him wherever he went, his feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. No congregation of which he was a member could be lifeless, for he had life and to spare. He was at home in the assembly and helped others to feel the same. “Diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,” was well exemplified in his well-ordered life. He bore ill treatment with a patience that made one think of those who first trusted in the Lord. I believe he desired to live, above all else, for Christ, his invalid wife and his baby boy, the only child at home. When brethren wrote of Brother Grant’s serious sickness and later that he was no better, I could not think his sickness would be unto death. Hope, though disappointed, lives on and on. “Thanks be unto God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” E. Millwee. - Gospel Advocate, May 23, 1918, page 500.

Children: Ossa H. (Grant)Walker, Annie N., C. Durwood, Jessie Elizabeth "Gussie", Louis Wesley "Lou", William Howard "Happy", Charles P.
