WILLIAM G. AND JAMES G. GRIFFIN
(Father and Son; the Former Retired, the Latter Merchant at Cairo)
The father, William G., was a successful farmer in his time and accumulated a comfortable estate. Having lived an industrious, temperate and worthy life, he is thus spared to reach a ripe old age, with his mental powers unimpaired and his physical strength well preserved. James G. Griffin, the youngest of their family, was born on the 19th of September, 1850, and on the 12th of March, 1872, was married to Miss Belle McKinney. The year of his marriage, Mr. Griffin engaged in merchandising at Cairo, which he has since followed now for a period of 12 years, and with abundant success. He carries an excellent stock of goods and commands a large trade. He is also quite extensively engaged in handling stock and ships largely to the wholesale markets. An enterprising, thorough-going business man, he is rapidly coming to the front as one of the substantial and leading citizens of the county. Mr. and Mrs. Griffin have five children: Florence, Flora, Maude, Rosamond and Willie Pearl. He and wife are members of the Church, he of the Baptist, and she of the Christian. He is also a member of the A.F. and A.M., I.O.O.F. and the A.O.U.W.
