Thomas Dies at Age of 80 Stittville, March 9 – Griffith D. Thomas, 80, for more than 70 years resident of the town of Floyd, died suddenly Thursday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. D. Jones. Death was due to the infirmities of old age. He was born on a farm in the town of Floyd, March 29, 1847. As a young man he learned the business of cheesemaking and in 1870 bought a factory at Floyd which afterward became widely known as the Griffith Thomas factory. He continued to run it very successfully until 1913, a period of 43 years. In the 80s he was elected Republican supervisor of Floyd and served one term. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and served as one of its trustees for more than 25 years. About nine years ago he moved to this village, where he lived a retired life and joined the Methodist Church. Mr., Thomas married Miss Nancy Able, of Westernville, March 30, 1870. She died July 2, 1907 He leaved two children, Fred Thomas, and Mrs. E. D. Jones of Stittville; two brothers and one sister, Mrs. W. J.
