Good Woman Gone
     
  Receiving the news late we could, last week but briefly mention the 
death of Mrs. Julia Grant who died at her home in Paddock on Nov. 
18th. Mrs. Grant, familiarly known to a horde of acquaintances as 
Grandma, was one of the early pioneers of this locality. She was 
a woman of sterling character held in the highest respect by all 
who knew her and will be sorley missed. Below we give the 
particulars of her most useful life as written by one who has 
known her for many years:
  Julia Ann Earl was born in Oneida county, N.Y. , October 5th. , 
1821 and died November 18, 1913. She married in 1842 to Charles 
Francis Grant. Soon after their marriage they came to Wisconsin, 
from there to Iowa, where they lived until 33 years ago, when they 
immigrated to Paddock, Minn., where she has since resided. She 
survived her husband 23 years. Four children were born to bless their 
union, namely: Mrs. Mary Bryan of McLeod, N. D., John and David, who 
live in Paddock, and William who died two years ago at his in Iowa.
  Having always been a devoted Christian, a kind and loving mother 
and a good neighbor, she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.  
She joined the Methodist Episcopal church at an early age and was 
great helper in the church as long as her health permitted. She was 
one of five generations, having three living children six grand 
children, twenty greatgrand children and five great great grand 
children.
  Funeral services were held at the home of her son John on Friday 
at 1:30 o'clock  Rev. Stokes officiating. She was laid to rest in 
the Paddock cemetery beside her husband.
