MRS. GRANT PASSED AWAY JUNE 16TH
_________________ Funeral Services Were Held Last Sunday at Son's Home
     Elizabeth Jane Grant, a beloved woman of Paddock township, passed 
away Friday, June 16, at 8:25 o'clock p.m., death occuring on the old 
homestead which she and her husband settled in the early days.     
Elizabeth Jane Sansborn was born at St.Maria, Ontario, Canada, on 
January 24,1853.  She moved with her folks to Rondalia, Fayette county, 
Iowa, when about 14 years old and was united in marriage to John N. Grant 
on September 5,1877.
   They moved to Minnesota in 1880 and settled on a homestead in Paddock 
township where her life ended on June 16. Three children were born to 
this union, namely: Elmer O. Grant, of Paddock; Charley A. Grant, of 
Plummer, Idaho and Mrs. Nellie L. Keller, of Jamestown, N. Dak.
    She leaves besides her children, one sister, Mrs. Ella Taggert, of 
St. Paul, Minn., and three brothers, Brice Sansborn, of Tacoma, Wash.; 
Robert Sansborn, of Sherwook, N. Dak., and John Sansborn, of Paddock. 
She is also survived by 17 grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
     Deceased had made her home with her son Elmer O. Grant, since her 
husband passed away six years ago last March. Hardening of the arteries 
confined her to bed for the past three months and pneumonia was the 
direct cause of her death.
   She was a loving and devoted wife and mother and was always ready 
to assist a neighbor in time of need or sickness. Like all pioneers 
she borne bravely the hardships and privations of the early settlers
 and in her death a devoted mother and a true friend is taken away.  
Funeral services were held at the Elmer O. Grant home Sunday afternoon 
and burial was made in the Hillview Cemetery , a large number of 
neighbors and friends attending the services , which were conducted 
by Rev. A. L. Olney of Verndale.
    Arrangements were under the direction of E. J. Wheeler , Funeral 
Director.                                     ______________________________
