Obituary of OSCAR F. GRANDY |
The Last Reveille Oscar F. Grandy, one of the best known old soldier’s of this county, died at his home near Garfield last Friday night, January 18th, of pneumonia and nervous prostration, aged fifty-eight years, ten months and twenty-three days. The funeral occurred Monday under the direction of B. F. Larned Post, G. A. R., and the remains were buried at Garfield. Oscar F. Grandy was born at Mainesbury, Tioga county, Pennsylvania, February, 25th, 1842. He was married to Miss Rizpah Ames, April 12th, 1876. Eight children were born as the result of this union, seven of whom survive him; Gertrude, a daughter, dying in infancy. He came to Kansas in November, 1876, having been a pioneer in this section of the state and was instrumental in building up and making the county what it is today. He was a kind, loving and indulgent husband and father, who was always ready to make sacrifices for those he loved. The deceased enlisted for service in the civil war in November, 1862, as a musician in Company C, 171st Regiment of Pennsylvania, Volunteers; was discharged and re-enlisted March 31st, 1864, as a musician with Capt. Ransford B. Well’s Company I, 187th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, to serve three years during the war. He was finally honorably discharged August 3rd, 1865, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where his company was mustered out of the service. |
