"The LaFayette Sun" - March 5, 1902:

Burial of Mr. Tom Griffin.

Mr. Tom Griffin, one of LaFayette's oldest residents, was buried Saturday from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. James Smith. Rev. W. E. Faust conducted the services. Mr. Griffin was a brother of Messrs. G. L. and J. M. Griffin. Deceased was about 70 years old. His health had been bad for some time and not long since he received a painful burn, which drew largely on his strength. His family and other bereaved ones have the sympathy of friends. Rapidly these old timers are passing over the river.
