OBIT-01: "C. C. Grosclaude, lifetime resident of south Schuyler, died Wednesday evening, April 30, having lived to the age of 76 years, 3 months and 8 days. He had been in failing health for the past six years, being a patient in several hospitals and nursing homes in this section of the country. His parents, Peter F. Grosclaude and Wilhelmina Fey Grosclaude, were pioneer residents in Woodstock Township where the family home on which he spent his entire life is located. In August, 1902, he brought to this home his bride, the former Elsie May Hetrick, and to this union was born one daughter, Wilhelmina Alice. Mr. Grosclaude was soon to lose the loving kindness and helpfulness of his first wife, and a few years after her death in 1909 he married Mrs. Julia {née: Logsdon} Howell, who helped in the care of their young daughter. He was a man of sterling character, firm in his convictions, and true to his many friends. Mr. Grosclaude leaves to mourn his passing his daughter, Wilhelmina, her husband, Dwight K. Howell, and two grandchildren, Charles Frederick and Donna Jean Howell, a sister, Mrs. David Daron, of Pasadena, California, two nieces and many friends and neighbors."
