The Henry County Weekly, December 9, 1892
Another Sad Death
      Last Saturday afternoon Rev. S. H. Griffin received a telegram from 
Little Rock, Ark., stating that his son, Hope, was dangerously ill with 
pneumonia.
     Everybody at Hampton knows and loves HOPE GRIFFIN, who has been in 
Arkansas for the last few years, and consequently the news of his illness 
spread rapidly over this community.
     On Sunday afternoon the still sadder news of his death came by wire, and a 
gloom of sorrow came over all. Arrangements were at once made for his burial at 
Hampton, for it was Hope’s request that his body be sent home to his father for 
burial. His body was embalmed and put it in a splendid metallic casket and 
brought home by Mr. James Gray, a friend and associate in business.
     He arrived in Atlanta on Tuesday at Eleven o’clock, and was met there by 
Mr. S. H. Griffin and Charlie Griffin. At 4:30 o’clock it was put on the 
Central train and arrived here at 5:35 where it was met by a large number of 
friends and acquaintances. The body was carried out to Mr. Griffin’s home for 
the night, and was buried at Berea on Wednesday at 12 o’clock.
Hampton Hustler.
