David Milton Grant Sep. 16, 1903, Page 15, Col. 2 Ark. Methodist 

Brother David Milton Grant was born in Abbeyville County, South Carolina, 
January 10, 1818 and died in Wilmot, Arkansas - Ashley County, Arkansas

   When he was two years old his mother moved to Georgia, where he lived
until he was grown. He was married to Miss Nancy A. Waits in 1840, and
moved to Ashley County, Arkansas in 1851. In December of the same year he 
settled on Bayou Bartholomew, near the Louisiana line, where he lived
until July 16, 1903, when he passed over the last river, to rest amid the
beauties of the eternal Kingdom. 
   Brother Grant was a good and useful man; was converted and joined the 
church in 1842; filled the office of steward for nearly 50 years: True to 
preacher and church. About three years ago he became unbalanced mentally, 
so much so that he did not know his wifeor daughter, but the force of habit 
was seen in him. He would want to go to church, was frequently found at 
secret prayer and hardly ever failed to ask a blessing when he went to eat.
   He leaves an aged and afflicted wife, one daughter and a number of
grandchildren to mourn their loss. I trust that former P.E.'s and
preachers who have known dear old Sister Grant will remember her in their
prayers.
