Eugene Grant, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Grant, 498 Seventh avenue, passed away at 3:45 o'clock Tuesday afternoon according to a telegram sent to Clinton last night.

Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Grant left Clinton last Friday to spend the holidays with their son at his home in Monrovia, Calif. They arrived Monday and had spent less than a day with him when death summoned him away.

The funeral party will start back east as soon as arrangements can be made.

Mr. Grant was 26 years old. He was raised in Clinton. His wife was Miss Irene Rixon. He had been ill for two years, and went to the far west last October, believing the change would benefit his health. It was not believed by his parents and friends that the end was near.

Two brothers are left with the parents. They are Frank, a high school student, and Clifford, a student at the Iowa State University.
