Mrs. Mary [MILLER] GRINDLE is another of the old residents of Henry township that died yesterday. Mrs. Grindle was a native of Virginia and at her death was 72 years old. She came to this county when she was but eighteen years of age and has ever since lived in Henry township. Her husband, Abraham GRINDLE, died fifteen years ago. The surviving children of this family are John H. GRINDLE, at Akron; Mrs. Jacob KING, near Akron; and Mrs Charles SMITH of Miami county. Two children died at an early age. Mrs. Grindle leaves a brother and two sisters, Jacob MILLER at Macy; Mrs. Samuel BEMENDERFER and Mrs. William BEMENDERFER, both of Henry township. Although Mrs. Grindle had been in poor health for four years, the immediate cause of her death was pneumonia, contracted some time ago.
