phoid fever, after an illness of
three weeks, aged 53 years, 1
month and 24 days. His case
was a serious one from the first,

it was soon seen that the end was
near.
Funeral services took place in
the normal assembly room at 3:30
p. m. Saturday. The large room,
which had been beautifully deco-
rated by the faculty, seniors, ju-
niors and his Sunday Sffhool

ing friends who came to pay the
last tribute of respect to the mem-
ory of one who, by his kindly

which he returned to Winfield, j

city. He next moved to Salina
in 1895, serving seven years on j
the faculty of the Kansas Wes-1
leyan University. From Salina
he came to Alva in 1902, almost
two years ago, and served as
vice-president of the Northwest-

his earthly labors. He was a
member of the M. E. church from
early childhood and served his
church in every official relation.
The present class of seniors of
the Northwestern Normal was
Mr. Gridley’s particular charge,
and he was affectionately called
the ‘‘Father of the Senior Class.”
His Christian life and noble char-

green among those with whom he
labored. The sincere sympathies
