Belding News, 27 May 1909

James Granger was born at Huntington, England, on Sept. 21, 1842, and died at 
his home in this city on Mary 20, 1909.  His mother died when he was a small 
boy and he came to this country with his father when 9 years old, locating at 
Kiddville near this city where he grew to manhood, and where his father was 
engaged in the shoemaking business for many years.

Deceased enlisted in the civil war in December, 1861, and served until the 
close of the rebellion, after which he returned to his home here and on Sept. 
8, 1867, was married to Ellen M. Belding.  To this union six children were 
born, four of whom are still living, as follows:  Frank, Carl, Glenn and 
Lewis.  His wife died June 12, 1903.

Mr. Granger preached and practiced doing unto others as he would like to be 
done by, and for this reason he had hosts of friends and no enemies.

afternoon, and were largely attended by relatives and friends, Mrs. Luella K. 
Webster delivering the address.  The pall bearers were :  J. D. Morse, Geo. F.
