Paso Robles Record November 14, 1914
Old Resident Passes Beyond
On Sunday last J.W. Grant an old pioneer of this section passed to the great 
beyond after a lingering illness. The deceased had been slowly sinking for 
some time when he was brought to this city where everything was done that 
mortal hands could do until the end Sunday. Mr. Grant was a native of 
Scotland, born in 1838. Arriving in this country he drifted to San Bernardino 
where he was married to Margaret Neish in 1868. In 1882 he settled in this 
section where he took up land in the eastern section of the county near Grants 
Lake and which he successfully farmed until stricken with illness that caused 
his death. He is survived by a loving wife and the following children who 
mourn his demise, Robert B.,  John M., Richard, Adam L., Fred W. and Archie 
Grant, Mrs. Isabel Holcomb, Viva A. Anderson and Jesse Grant, all of who have 
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. The funeral services were held 
under the auspices of the local lodge of Masons, Monday afternoon and 
interment was made in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
