                     A.C. GRISWOLD VETERAN, DEAD

       One Of Few Survivors Of the Merrimac Answered Roll Call Yesterday

A.C. Griswold, who suffered a stroke of paralysis in his right side after 
returning home from attending service at St. Peters Episcopal Church Sunday 
night, died from the effects of the stroke at his residence, 200 Willoughby 
Avenue, Brambleton, at 10:15 o'clock a.m. yesterday in the 74th year of his 
age.
The deceased was a Confederate Veteran and was one of the few surviving 
heroes of the memorable engagement in Hampton Roads between the Confederate 
iron-clad war vessel Merrimac and the United States Monitor during 1862.
He was a native of Cardiff, South Wales, but had been a resident of Norfolk 
for half a century where he was widely known and universally esteemed as a 
man of genial and generous disposition making friends with all with whom he 
was thrown in contact whether in business or social circles.
Mr. Griswold was a member of Pickett-Buchanan Camp Confederate Veterans, 
Harmony Lodge of Odd fellows, Charity Lodge Knights of Pythias and 
Pocahontas Council Royal Arcanum. 
He is survived by three children, Mrs. Mamie Watson, Miss Blanche Griswold 
and Walter Griswold.
The funeral will be held from his late residence at noon Thursday and will 
be conducted by Rev. Reuben Meredith, of St. Peters Episcopal Church.  
Interment in Elmwood.
