Death of Jesse Grubb.

Mrs. Letitia Benjamin has received the intelligence that her former son-in- law, Jesse Grubb, died Wednesday, Feb. 28tb, at Boulder, Colo., of consumption. His sickness began with an attack of grip a year ago, last month. He went to Colorado, some months ago, in the hopes that a change of climate would be beneficial, but evidently the disease had gone too far to have its progress stayed by that means.

Mr. Grubb was about 32 or 33 years old'. ‘ He lived here for quite a number of years, in the capacity of agent for the American Express Company, and went from here to Goshen, where he held a similar position. - While here he married Miss Maud Benjamin, who died about 5 years ago. About a year later he married again, in Goshen, and this second wife survives him. He also leaves two children, a giil seven years old, by the first wife, who is being raised by her grandmother, Mrs. Benjamin, and also an infant daughter, by the second wife. The remains have been taken back to Goshen for burial.
