He had spent all his life in this community. He was a member of the First M. E. church, of Lee Lodge No. 454, A. F. and A. Masons, and the local Court of Honor.

Floyd, Mrs. Victor Walton, Mrs. R. H. Owen, and two brothers, H. L. Griffin of Roanoke, and G. W. Griffin of Tuskegee. Also four grandchildren, Maxie, June, Mary Tate and Annie Laurie Griffin, the children of W. S. Griffin.
The funeral will take place from the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Tucker tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10 a. m., Rev. H. H. McNeil officiating. Interment will be in the city cemetery."
