He was sitting in a chair talking when he felt the hemorrhage coming on and called for some salt, but by the time it reached him he was spitting blood very fast, and Dr. McGinnis was summoned. He arrived in a few moments and did all he could do. Transcriber's note: Mr. Grant is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
