Mrs. N. A. Grow Succumbs to Attack of Paralysis at Greenbush on Friday, August Third. (1906)

Mrs. N. A. Grow died at her home in Greenbush on Friday morning, August 3, at 6:30 from the effects of a paralytic stroke sustained on the morning of the previous day. Mrs. Grow was 63 years of age on July 19 last. The funeral services were conducted in the Greenbush Catholic church on Sunday morning by Rev. Father Levings, who delivered a most impressive and eloquent oration.

Mrs. Grow was born in Franklin county, New York, 1843, her maiden name being Adaline Jesmer. She was married July 3, 1864, and came, with her husband, to Minnesota in the spring of 1869. Her husband died in 1897. There were four sons and six daughters born of the union, all of whom with the exception of John, are living. The survivors are Charles and Adolphus E., Greenbush; L. N., Princeton; Mrs. Alexander Belair, Blue Hill; Elizabeth, Colorado Springs; Mrs. John Zimple, Mrs. Jas. Deshaw, Gertrude and Adele, Greenbush.

Mrs. Grow was a kindly, God-fearing lady-a devout member of the Catholic church. She was ever ready to render assistance to a neighbor in sickness or relieve the wants of the poor. She was highly esteemed by a large number of both young and old who will greatly miss her genial personality.

The pallbearers were: Owen Bracken, Greenbush; Daniel McCuaig, Milaca; Louis Plumondore, George McFarland, Wm. Orton, Princeton; H. C. Whittier, Greenbush.

Among the relatives from out of town who attended the obsequies were Mr. and Mrs. A.D. Jesmer, Park Rapids; Mrs. Gagacki, Mrs. Aslen, Minneapolis; Miss Elizabeth Grow, Colorado Springs.

Obituary —

Nelson A. Grow, one of Greenbush’s earliest settlers, died at his home last Tuesday, of consumption. Mr. Grow was born Nov. 14, 1841, in Franklin county. New York, where he resided until he removed to Minnesota in 1859, when he came directly to Mille Lacs county and settled on the farm where his death occurred. In 1864 he was married to Miss Adaline Jesmer and eight children have blessed the union. Mr. Grow was an upright honest man, whose friendship was highly esteemed by all with whom he came in contact, and although rather of a retiring nature, he was several times elected to office by his townsmen who appreciate his sterling worth, and made him one of their supervisors for several years and afterward entrusted him with the keeping of the township funds.

The funeral occurred this morning in Greenbush the interment being made there also. The family have the sincere sympathy of the whole community in the hour of their bereavement.
