General Notes: Husband - Henry Fay Grant

---

He attended the public schools until he was sixteen years of age when he went to California to live with his uncle, Mr. Frank Fay. He entered the Los Angeles Military Academy, and in his second year was promoted to the rank of major and presented with a gold medal for ex-cellence in military drill. The following year his principal, Mr. G. C. Emery, organized the Harvard School which the boy attended for the next two years and was the president of the first class that graduated. He entered the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University and graduated in the class of 1905. One of the greatest pleasures of his college life was the Yale Glee Club of which he was a member during his junior and senior years. He was also elected a member of the Senior Promenade Committee. After graduation "Harry" Grant took charge of his father's business while the latter went abroad for six months. The next fall he was elected secretary and assistant treasurer of the Franklin Natural Gas Company and secretary of the Franklin Pipe Company, Limited. In 1909 he bought the Nursery Oil Company lease and an eighth interest in his father's holdings, and in 1912 he purchased the Henry F. James lease and other Franklin heavy oil properties. He was made a director of the First National Bank of Franklin in 1911 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of his father. In August, 1912, he resigned his position with the Gas Company, and devoted his time to his oil interests, the Franklin Pipe Company, Limited, and to the care of his father's estate.
