  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Clarence Gritton and daughter, Miss Winnie of Penfield, are both sick with typhoid fever.
      The Weekly Pantagrah, Bloomington, Illinois. Friday, 13 December 1907.
      [6]
    • Gritton Family Afflicted
      Typhoid Fever Victims Taken to Danville.
      Danville, Ill., Jan. 27. - Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Gritton of Penfield, both suffering from typhoid fever, were brought to this city and were taken to St. Elizabeth's hospital where they will receive treatment. Mrs. Gritton was taken ill nearly two months ago and is very weak and much worn by the disease. Her husband succumbed to the fever and both have been in the care of two nurses, one from this city and one from Chicago. Two children in the family had typhoid fever just before their mother was taken ill, but have fully recovered.
      Members of the Knights of Pythias lodge and the Modern Woodmen have rendered very substantial aid during the affliction of the family, but it was thought best to bring Mr. and Mrs. Gritton to the hospital. They were accompanied to this city by Charles Gritton of Covington, father of Mr. Gritton, and A.F. Chambers, Frank Oberlin and G.W. Putnam of Penfield, members of the Knights of Pythias lodge.
