Griffin was born March 14, 1843 in Derby, the son of Augustus and Orpha (Carpenter) Griffin. When the Civil war began, Mr. Griffin, only about eighteen years of age, enlisted and bore himself through the struggle for right with great bravery. He was a member of Co. 10th Regt.

For forty-two consecutive years Mr. Griffin has been a harness maker here and it has been a sorrow to him that the business could not be continued in the name. One son George was a harness maker but in 1902 he passed on as did also another son and the within a few weeks' time. Previous to this, one daughter, a young lady and a son in infancy were called home, so it will be seen that the deceased has had an unusual number of hard things in life to bear, but through it all he remained on the sunny side of the clouds.
