GORMLY, John. - GORMLY - John GORMLY, an aged
resident of Ida Hill, and one of Troy's oldest citizens, died at the home of his son-in-law, Andrew SIMS,
533 Congress Street. Mr. Gormly's death was due to heart failure and general
debility, resulting from advanced age. He fell on the floor of an apartment of the
house and died almost immediately. Though active until the time of his death,
he had declined rapidly since he learned of the news of the assassination of
President McKinley, and his ready sympathies were so affected by the demise of the
beloved executive for whom he had always the highest esteem, that his decline may be
directly traced from the worriment and sorrow which followed the President's death.
The deceased was in his eighty-seventh year. He came to this country from Scotland
in 1841 and has lived in this vicinity since. He was prominently identified with
public interests in his ward, having been an ardent Republican. He served one term
as supervisor from his ward and was for many years connected with the retail
meat firm of Gormly Brothers. He retired from business about a year ago. His wife
died about 16 years ago, and since then he made his home with his daughter and
son-in-law. He attended the Memorial Presbyterian church. Mr. Gormly was a
well-versed man and was fond of literary pursuits. He acquired an extensive
knowledge of writers from his perusal of literary work. Public matters were of
great interest to him, and he remained energetic to his last moments. The deceased
during his life was held in the highest regard and had many friends who admired
his generous and benignant character. He is survived by four sons:
John T., Robert W., David K. and Bruce W. GORMLY, and one daughter, Mrs. Andrew SIMS.

GREGWARE, Margaret A. KAKULE.
GRISWOLD, John A. - Hon. John A. Griswold. - The death of Mr. Griswold
occurred at 7 1/2 P.M. yesterday at his residence, near Troy, after an illness
of several weeks. During the early part of yesterday unmistakable evidence of
improvement in his condition was visible and his case began to be considered
not utterly hopeless. A less favorable turn in his disease set in soon afterward,
from which he was too weak to rally, and he gradually sank under it. His wife and
daughter, who arrived home from Europe at 1:40 P. M. Wednesday, were present. Mr.
Griswold's family consists of a wife and six children. John A. Griswold was
born in the town of Nassau, Rensselaer County, N. Y., in the year 1817. While
in his boyhood, his home was with his relative, the late Major-Gen. John E. Wool,
in the City of Troy. His first connection with business was found in a wholesale
drug-store, but he finally embarked in the manufacture of iron from the native
ore found in the neighborhood of Troy in such vast quantities. In 1857 Mr. Griswold
became a large owner in the iron mills of Troy, and from that time the business
grew to great proportions under his management and direction. The Bessemer steel
process was the means of still further extending the business of the Troy mills,
as Mr. Griswold became the owner of the Bessemer patents for this country,
he being also the first among American manufacturers to recognize the importance
of the invention. So great was the business in the mills over which Mr. Griswold
had control that his income was a very large one, and he became, during the past
few years, one of the richest iron masters in the Union. During the early part
of the [Civil] war Mr. Griswold evinced his stern loyalty to the Government by building
the first Ericsson monitor at his individual expense, taking the risk of being
repaid if the novel vessel proved a success. Had it not been for his belief
in the feasibility of Ericsson's idea, it is very probable that our Government
would never have secured so important an addition to its navy. Mr. Griswold's
active mind naturally carried him beyond the routine of iron and steel making,
and his fellow-citizens made him Mayor of Troy in 1855. Thus, entering the
political field, he received the Democratic nomination for Congress in 1857,
but was defeated by his opponent, Hon. A. B. Olin. In 1862 he was again nominated
for Congress as a Democrat, and elected by a majority of 1,287. While in Congress
Mr. Griswold was a war Democrat, and earnestly supported the Government in its
efforts to put down the rebellion. This course led to his being made the
Republican candidate for Congress in his district, in the year 1864, and he
was elected to his seat by a decided vote. At the expiration of his second term
the Republicans of Rensselaer County again nominated and elected him their
representative. During his Congressional career of six years Mr. Griswold served
on the Committee on Naval Affairs, and on the Committee of Ways and Means,
being conspicuous at all times for his unswerving loyalty and earnest condemnation
of treason. That period was a marked one in Congress, and he always held a
prominant place among the leaders in the House. In the year 1868 Mr. Griswold
was nominated by the Republican Party in this State as its candidate for Governor
against John T. Hoffman, and was undoubtedly elected, but was counted out by frauds.
This closed Mr. Griswold's political life, as he declined to run for any office,
preferring to attend to his private business.
