The LaFayette Sun May 12, 1909
In Memoriam.
	Mary Adams was born in Talbot Co., Ga., Sept. 14th, 1833. She was 
married to Green L. Griffin Dec. 26th, 1850. She united with the Baptist Church 
of LaFayette, Ala., in July 1881. She departed this life April 15th, 1909. Her 
funeral was conducted by her Pastor, Rev. E. M. Stewart, assisted by Rev. W. C. 
Bledsoe; the pallbearers were her sons, J. C., J. D., C. W., and Lee Griffin, 
with two of her grand-sons-in-law, Q. P. Siler and L. N. Wilson. She 
leaves her husband, G. L. Griffin, four sons, three daughters, Mrs. Bettie 
Marable, Mrs. Martha Sims, and Miss Annie Griffin, together with many relatives 
and friends throughout this section of Alabama.
	Mrs. Griffin was faithful in all the relations of life. A devoted 
mother, a kind neighbor and friend, unselfishly she gave her life to the 
happiness and well being of those around her. She always sustained to her 
church the most loyal relations, and from the day she professed faith in her 
Lord she was true to that profession, finding no greater joy 
than in doing whatever she could for the glory of His kingdom. Mrs. Griffin was 
a woman of wonderful patience, enduring without a murmur through many weary 
months very great physical suffering. All who knew her understood 
that such patience was hers because there was with her in large measure the 
presence of God’s Holy Spirit. None knew better than she the preciousness of 
the promises of God, and on them rests the Christian’s assurance and 
peace of mind in the darkest hours. May all who loved her follow in her steps 
and after this life on earth is done find with her a home where there will 
be “fullness of joy forever.”
(Per “Survey of Cemeteries in Chambers County, Alabama” there is a tombstone in 
the LaFayette City Cemetery that reads: “Mary Adams, wife of G. L. Griffin, 
Sept. 14, 1833 – April 15, 1909. She is buried next to her husband and 
daughter and family. Other members of this family are buried elsewhere in the 
cemetery. gb)
