Mrs. F.M. Grey Dies in San Diego After Brief Illness
Word of the death of Mrs. Emma Grey, widow of F. Marion Grey, on Sunday at her home in San Diego, Calif., was received this morning by C.M. Montague. The message which was sent by Mrs. Grey's son Gordon, stated that she had been ill but two days. The body will be brought to Niles for burial in the family lot. Further announcement concerning the arrangements for the committal service here will be made later.
Mrs. Grey was a daughter of J.C. Larrimore, who came to Niles in 1834 from Steubensville, O., and engaged in the dry goods business. Later he engaged in the drug business for many years with H.M. Dean as a partner. He filled a prominent place in the early life of the community, being at one time president of a local bank, was an officer of practically all of the leading industries of the city and was postmaster under President Harrison from 1841 to 1845. Mrs. Grey, during her residence in Niles, was identified with social, club and church circles, endearing herself to those with whom she came in contact, and when she left Niles for the west, her departure was sincerely mourned. She had frequently returned to Niles to visit old friends and last summer made an extended visit here.
