LYDIA MAUD GRIFFITH WEBSTER
[Welland Tribune, 27 April 1900]
Mrs. O.A. Webster (Lydia Maud, daughter of James Griffith, formerly of Welland, now of Grand Forks, Dakota), died at Hot Springs, Arkansas, on Sunday April 15th.
Mrs. Webster has been in poor health for some time, and with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Griffith, and her sister, Mrs. F. Cathro, went to Hot Springs last December for the benefit of her health. She did receive benefit for a time, and was about to return home when she was taken seriously ill, and died unexpectedly. The following particulars are taken from the Grand Forks Herald:-
“Deceased was born in Ontario 45 years ago, and came to Grand Forks in 1882. She was prominent in social and religious circles, and was a constituent or charter member of the local Baptist church. She leaves one son, Horace, aged six, and besides the relatives already mentioned, two sister, Mrs. L.H. Carter of Grand Forks, and Mrs. R. Weeks, now of California, and three brothers, Dr. A.R. Griffith of Montreal and R.B. and T.C. Griffith of this city. With the exception of children who died in infancy this is the first break in the Griffith family. The aged parents, the husband, the son other relatives of the deceased lady have the sincere sympathy of many who share with them their sorrow over the departure of a loved and honored friend.”
The body was taken to Grand Forks for burial. Mrs. Webster had many warm friends in Welland, and vicinity who will deeply deplore her demise.
