As a strong individuality Major Griffith made a lasting mark. Before entering upon his business career he travelled extensively, shipping on two whaling voyages to South America and the Indian Ocean. After he retired from the sea he spent short terms clerking in Cincinnati and New York, and then returned to Carver, where he was employed as a clerk by Benjamin Ellis & Co. until he embarked in business for himself.
In addition to his military and business
activities in Carver, he was one of the promoters of Onset Bay, settling there to establish a Spritu- alistic resort, when the land was unbroken oak hills, and he was a leading figure in the develop- ment of the resort. He was also one of the pro- moters of the United Fruit Company that met with marvelous success in the development of the fruit trade.
