Illness Fatal to H. J. Grylls
H. J. Maxwell Grylls, widely-known Detroit architect and president of the firm of Smith, Hinchman and Grylls, died at 7:30 a.m. Sunday in his home at 1038 Parker after an illness of three months. He was 77 years old.
An Englishman by birth, Mr. Grylls had been a Detroiter since he was 19 years old.

Hudson Co. store, all of the Bell Telephone Co.'s structures, the present County Building, the Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church and the First and Seventh Churches of Christ Scientist.
Mr. Grylls was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects and last April was named an honorary member of the Michigan Society of Architects. Prominent in affairs of the Episcopalian Diocese, he was a junior warden of the Church of the Messiah.
Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Mary Field Grylls, three sons, Humphrey M. K., R. Gerveys and John R., and two sisters, Miss Cecil Grylls and Mrs. Alice Charlton.
