Friday, February 13th, 1925
Aubrey L. Griggs, who lived near Ashport, died at the Ripley hospital Monday and his remains were laid to rest in the Lightfoot Cemetery Wednesday. His death followed an operation for appendicitis which, it is said, was delayed too long. He was 28 years of age and is survived by his wife, who was Miss Mattie Blanche Pitts, and three children.
(This obituary from the local paper incorrectly assumed that just because there were only three children at the time of his death, Aubrey only fathered that many children. At the time of his death, his wife Mattie Blanche was pregnant with their fourth child, Martha Louise, who was born in June of 1925.)
