Dr. Glen H. Griswold of Winterset, a practicing veterinarian at Earlham and Winterset during most of his active life, died Wednesday, March 19, 1969, at a Des Moines hospital. He was 75 years of age.

Doctor Griswold was a native of Madison county. He was born here March 31, 1893, a son of David M. and Lula Piatt Griswold. He graduated from North High school in Des Moines, and received his degree in veterinary medicine from veterinary school in Chicago in 1918.

Doctor Griswold was a member of the Masonic lodge, and the Winterset Rotary club, was a past president of the Earlham school board, and a director of the Union State Bank of Winterset from 1958 until his resignation in 1965, because of ill health.

He was married at Winterset June 4, 1917, to Hannah Jenkins. She preceded him in death Feb 8, 1967.

He is survived by a son, Dr. David M. Griswold of Winterset; a daughter, Mrs. Helen Misner of West Des Moines; and two grandsons, David and Don Griswold.
