______________
     Death has claimed another highly respected and pioneer citizen 
of Paddock township, Otter Tail county. David Grant, who settled in 
the town of Paddock more than 35 years ago, died at the Menahga 
hospital Monday evening, April 29, of Bright's disease and bronchial 
trouble.

therefore nearly 64 years of age at the time of his death. Coming 
to this country when it was a wilderness he with other pioneers 
went through the hardships that usually fall to those who open up 
a new country and by hard work and ???gality became the owner of a 
fine improved farm where he lived for more than thirty years, selling 
same about two years ago. He and his wife moved to Sebeka about 
three years ago, when a few months later, death claimed Mrs. Grant, 
and the deceased's body will be laid to rest in the village cemetery 
by the side of his beloved helpmate. Mr Grant was widely known 
throughout this part of the county as well as in Paddock and he was 
a true and kind friend and a good neighbor.
     Deceased is survived by a brother John Grant, of Paddock, and 
a sister, Mrs. Bryan of North Dakota.
