Obituaries -- (Findagrave.com):

P.S. McGriff, widely known Harrison township farmer, died at his home, five miles northwest of Lewisburg, Saturday afternoon, following a heart attack Friday night. He had not been in good health since an operation in June, 1930, which depleted his usual vigor. Hardening of the arteries had also developed and added to his decline in general health. Mr. McGriff was 69 years and one month of age when he succumbed.

Funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the West Sonora U.B. church and was in charge of Rev. J. A. Watson, of Harrisville, Indiana, pastor of the Twin Chapel Congregational Christian church. Burial was made in Roselawn cemetery beside the remains of his first wife, who died 14 years ago.

His immediate survivors are his wife, who was Mrs. Jacob Routzohn, of Verona; one son, Ernest McGriff, of Verona, and one daughter, Mrs. Roy Shields, of Dayton. James McGriff, of the same neighborhood, is a brother and the late Frank McGriff was a brother.

A few years after the death of the first wife, Mr. McGriff left the farm and moved to Dayton where he resided for several years. About three years ago he returned to it, having in the meantime married again.

Mrs. McGriff is the mother of Adolph Routzohn and Mrs. Blake Smith, of Verona, and Mrs. Eli Walker, of Brookville.

Obituary

Patrick S. McGriff

Trusting in our Lord and Master, we have hope the vacancy caused in our home by taking from us one we had learned to lova as a father and husband, may be filled by blessings such as those bestored by him while living, and that he be reqarded a home of peace by the Master; we are again reminded that at a time when we least expect it the reaper thrust his sickle taking the life of Patrick Sylvester McGriff, who was born October 28, 1862. He was the youngest child of Patick S. and Ann McGriff and the third child called to meet his Master.

On January 14, 1882 he was married to Laura Studebaker with whom he lived happily until February 13, 1918, when her work was finished here and she left us to await our coming later.

On February 21, 1825 he was united in marriage to Alice Routzohn who helped him to battle the troubles of this life during an illness of almost four years which terminated in his peacefully falling asleep at one o'clock Saturday noon, November 28, 1931, at the age of 69 years and one month.

He was a good husband and father and why we could not keep him longer we do not understand but we are sure he will always be remembered by the people of the community because of the good deeds he had done.

Those realizing their loss is his gain are his wife, Alice; one daughter, Edna Shields, of Dayton, Ohio; one son, Ernest, of Verona, Ohio; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; one brother, James, of West Sonora; two step daughters; one step son; two step grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.

Our life is like a summer's day,
It seems so quickly past;
Youth in the morning bright and gay;

And if 'tis spent in wisdon's way,
We meet old age without dismay,
And death is sweet at last.
---
The family wishes to thank all who so willingly assisted during the sickness, death, and burial of our husband and father.
Wife and Children.
