These included the late Cyrus and William Bentley and her sisters, Mrs. James K. Burtis and Mrs. Ira N. Herrick. Mrs. Grigg leaves three daughters, Mrs. Arthur B. Meeker, Mrs. John H.

Ten grandchildren and nine great grandchildren survive her. Mrs. Griggs was prominently identified with the First Baptist Church and Immanuel Baptist Church for fifty-five years, taking an active part in all church work and charities so long as her health would permit, and contributing to all its charities.
