CHARLES F. GRIFFIN, DEAD.
Former Secretary of State Passes Away at Hammond.
Cerebral Meningitis Cuts Short a Brilliant Career in Indiana Business and Politics at the Bar.
HAMMOND, Ind., Dec. 21 -- Charles F. Griffin died at his home soon after Saturday midnight. He had not been in the best of health for some months, although he delivered several speeches during the last campaign at various points in the state. Ten days ago he was stricken with cerebral meningitis, and it was soon seen that he was fatally ill. At times he rallied, but soon lapsed into unconsciousness, and he passed away from a state of coma with his relatives at his bedside. The funeral services were held on Tuesday morning at the First Presbyterian church, of which church Mr. Griffin long served as an officer. He was a thirty third degree Mason and his fraternal brethren had charge of the funeral. Interment at Crown Point in the family burial ground.
Charles Fremont Griffin was born on farm in Henry county, Indiana, on June 10, 1857, and he lived all his life in the state. He received his education in a country school, followed by a brief attendance at the Quaker Academy at Spiceland. After teaching in a country school he began the practice of law at Crown Point, and remained there until, in 1886, at the age of twenty-nine, he was elected secretary of state. He served two terms in that office, then removed to Hammond and resumed his profession, where he had since remained, being long associated with Hon. Walter Olds, formerly a judge of the Indiana Supreme court. His success in the law was marked. Mr. Griffin was interested in several large business enterprises in the State, and his practice led him into nearly every county north of Indianapolis. He was successful in politics as in business, and had been active in the republican party since he was nineteen years old as a worker in the ranks, a member of the local organization, in the party councils and on the stump. In 1884 he was an enthusiastic Blaine man, and was an alternate delegate from his district to the national convention. In 1888 he was in charge of Harrison's headquarters at the Chicago convention. In 1892 he was a delegate at large in the Minneapolis convention. He was elected commander in chief of the Sons of Veterans in 1889, and made a record for efficiency that has never been surpassed in that order. He served as captain and major in the state militia and drafted the militia law of 1887. He was a member of the leading fraternal orders and was an elder in the Presbyterian church. He was a candidate in 1896 before the State convention that nominated James A. Mount for governor, and later served with the 157th Indiana through the Spanish war. In 1880 he married Miss Edith Burhans of Lowell. Two children were born to them.
