It is expected that the remains, of Mr. S. L. Griffith, accompanied by Mrs. Griffith and Mr. W. H. Griffith, will arrive in Danby on the 7.05 train tonight. The body was embalmed and encased in a metallic casket, and services were held in San Diego, Cal., at 2.30 o’clock last Friday afternoon, with Rev. Mr. Crabtree of San Diego, Rev. Mr. Abbott of Chulavista, and Rev. Mr. Kommers of National City officiating. Mrs. Griffith and Mr. W. H. Griffith started with the remains on their long journey last Monday, and have thus been traveling five consecutive days.
