    HENRY FRANKLIN GRIFFITH
    was born August 25, 1886, in Republic County, Kansas, and departed this life in St. Margaret’s Hospital Kansas City, Kansas, at 11 a. m. Saturday, December 11, 1943.

    He had been in poor health for several years. He was married August 25, 1913, to Laverna A. Mondt, at Topeka, Kansas. To this union were born five children, two sons passing away in infancy. The surviving family includes his faithful wife; this son, Loyal, daughter, Fernta, son Lavern and grandson, R. R. Kemper, Jr.,; also his son-in-law, R. R. Kemper, Sr., and his aged father, Marion R. Griffith and a sister, Mrs. Bertha McCormick, a brother, S. R. Griffith; several other relatives.

    His mother preceded him in death in April, 1935,

    Frank, as he was known, was a good worker, and a good father. He was a pleasant, jolly personality and leaves many friends to mourn his departure. He joined the Presbyterian Church at Belvue, Kansas while quite young.

    Burial was in Wamego City Cemetery.

We also thank the pallbearers. — Mrs. Frank Griffith and the children
