Life of Grant Adkins
Friends of Grant Adkins were shocked Thursday morning when they learned of his death which occurred sometime during the night. He did not arise as usual in the morning and was found by his grandsons when they went to awaken him. The following obituary was read at the services Sunday afternoon:
Obituary:
Grand Adkins, well know resident of Washington township, died at an early hour last Thursday morning, following several years of ill health due to heart ailments. He was born in the Old Rippey locality on September 8, 1870, being near the age of 72 years. Grant was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Adkins, early settlers of the southeast part of the county, who came to that region previous to the Civil War. Grant was wedded to Minnie Chambers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Chambers, on March 25, 1896, and to them were born two children, on of whom died in infancy. The other is Fayne Adkins, who occupies the home farm a mile southwest of Old Rippey. Mrs. Adkins died March 16, 1936, and since that time Grant made his home with his son, Fayne. Grant lived his entire life in the southeast part of the county and in nearby localities, having been a resident of Yale two years when he was in the livery business. Later he moved to his farm in 1904 and Then to Rippey which was the home for a number of years.
In his lifetime he was never out of driving distance from where he was born, which is a record very few can claim. It speaks for him a wealth of acquaintances, and a record for friendships and good will among those who were his neighbors and acquaintances.
He is survived by one brother, Billy Adkins, now of Glendive, Mont., and his sister, Mrs. Rachel Hiddleson of Jefferson. Rebecca Tilton, deceased. He has three grandchildren, Mrs. Edna Lape, Harold and Willis Adkins, and one great-grandchild, Marion Lape, all of Rippey. Grant was a half-brother of John L. Adkins, former well-known citizen of this vicinity, also a half-brother of Mrs. Jane Van Horn, now deceased.
Burial occurred from the Methodist church in Rippey on Sunday afternoon, with Rev. Lewis Joslin in charge. Lester High and Dwight Crumley gave two vocal numbers, "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Going Down The Valley", with Mrs. J. J. Peters accompanist. The casket bearers were Warren Winchell, Willie Winchell, Stacy Heater, Frankie Johnson, Orville Adkins and Kenneth Radebaugh. Interment: In the Rippey Cemetery.
