In the administration of the civil matters which come to his office he is discreet and prompt, and he is a general favorite with lawyers throughout the state. Sheriff Grant is a man of genial disposition, with a ready smile and a warm handclasp. He is respected and honored by old and young alike throughout the county. In his hours of relaxation he is a delightful companion, and he numbers his friends by the hundreds. With his good fellowship and loyal friendships, it is natural that Sheriff Grant should be a prominent and popular fraternity man. He is a Thirty-second degree Mason, has been a member of the I. O. O. F. for some quarter of a century, has belonged to the Woodmen of the World for some time, and in 1913 became a member of St. Cloud Lodge, No. 165, B. P. O. E. Sheriff Grant was married, April 13, 1884, to Charity F. Walker, a daughter of Henry T. Walker, who is elsewhere appropriately mentioned. Mrs. Grant is a member of the Eastern Star and of the Rebekah degree. The sunshine of the beautiful Grant home is a little girl, Medford Audrey, now four years old. Sheriff and Mrs. Grant have one of the prettiest residences in the county. Conveniently designed, it is furnished with every comfort, and the good taste of the ones who planned it is everywhere apparent. It is surrounded by a beautiful lawn, and commands a picturesque view of Buffalo lake. Edward Clark Tuttle, clerk of court, was born in La Crosse, Wis., July 26, 1873, son of Birdsey N. and Helen M.
