Griffin was sheriff of this county for three terms, 1894 to 1906. The couple and their family moved to Winters 12 years ago and have resided there since.
Surviving Mrs. Griffin besides her husband are the following children: Ernest G. Griffin, El Segundo; Mrs. Blanche Fenner, Richmond; Clyde C Griffin, Sacramento; Glenn G. Griffin, Winters; Clarabelle Griffin, Winters; Mrs. Edna Hollingsworth, Woodland, and Mrs. Georgeanna Coil, Sacramento. Besides the children, she is survived by four grandchildren.
