OBITUARY	

Wallace Griffin was born at Clarksburg, W. Va., he died at Payette, Idaho, on 
the 26th day of February, 1926, aged sixty-eight years.  Funeral services were 
held at the residence Sunday afternoon, at 2:30, Rev. Baker officiating.  A 
beautiful part of the service was an appropriate song finely rendered by a male 
quartet.  Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.
Mr. Griffin spent the years of his early manhood in the state of Kansas.  He 
moved to Idaho, thirteen years ago.  He was engaged in ranching on the Payette-
Oregon Slope, across the river, in Oregon, for a time and moved back to Idaho 
and has since resided in Payette for a considerable number of years last past 
and following the calling of an apiarist.  
There are left the wife and six children:  Mrs. Homer L. Settle and Miss Helen 
Griffin, of Payette; Mrs. George Shellhass, of Emmett, Idaho; Mrs. Lee Vassar 
Stewart, of Asherton, Texas, daughters; Howard F. Griffin, of Glendale, Oregon; 
Lyle Griffin, of Portland, Oregon, sons, all of whom were present at the 
funeral service.
Wallace Griffin made much greater effort than the average man to keep abreast 
of the time in general information.  He was a constant student of the 
Scriptures and one of the foremost Bible scholars in the community.  He was 
scrupulously honest and upright in his dealings with his fellow-men.  He loved 
mankind and sought ever and always to be of service in his day and generation.  
He coveted not wealth; he believed the building of a real man to be of greater 
importance than accumulating a fortune in money.  All things that were good had 
his commendation and he was a relentless foe to what is unclean and wrong. 
His neighbors testify that he was always kind and considerate, always ready to 
lend them a helping hand.  Those who knew him best, those who understood him 
and had his confidence testify that he was a never-failing friend.
