Died, at her home three miles north of Bloodland, Pulaski County, Mo., January 16th, 1905 of pneumonia, Selustina E. Griffin, wife of J. C. Griffin and daughter of the late Rev. A. R. Hinshaw of Boone county, Mo., age 49 years, 9 months, and 27 days.  She was born in Randolph county, Indiana and came with her parents at an early age to Boone County, Missouri and was raised near Burlington.   She was married to J. C. Griffin April 26, 1873 and to them were born ten children, four of whom preceded her to the better land; the living are J. W. Griffin of Englewood, Mrs. Dollie Bell of St. Louis, Mrs. Libbie York of Bloodland and Mattie, Birdie, and Mearl.   She was taken sick January fifteenth in the morning and died the sixteenth at four in the afternoon.  On Saturday night she had quite a play with her little girls to whom she was greatly attached.  She expressed that she did not want to sell the farm, as she felt better and more like she was at home than she ever did and that we would soon be so we could enjoy life to the fullest extent.   She united with the Methodist church when she was sixteen years old and has lived an exemplary Christian life until her death.  She was ever ready to help those in need and to hold out a willing hand to those in sickness and distressing hours.  She was consecreated to her family, always striving to elevate her children, and ever ready to teach them in the right way and correct their faults.  She is gone, but not forgotten, and shines as an eternal star in Heaven.
