| LifeSketch |
Commander Winfield Scott Groton of Fletcher Webster Post, 13, G.A.R., died at his home, 235 Boylston street, after an illness of 10 days. He was in his 75th year. A week ago Monday he was obliged to leave his work at the George E. Keith Co. on account of illness. Early this week his illness took a turn for the worse and little hope was extended for his recovery. Commander Groton was born in Waldoboro, Me., Jan. 18, 1847, and had lived in Brockton about 35 years, coming here from Boston. For the past 10 years he had been employed in the heel department at the George E. Keith Shoe Co. plant. Besides his wife he leaves two sons, Percy L. Groton of Avon and C. Merle Groton of this city, and a daughter, Mrs. Alice H. Mattinson, wife of Robert Mattinson, the young couple also living at 235 Boylston street. Mr. Groton also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Miller of this city and Mrs. Annie Marston of Scituate, widow of the late Harry L. Marston of this city; a brother Zenas Groton of Melrose, and five grand-children in Avon. When the Civil war was nearing its close, Mr. Groton, then a lad of 17, was mustered into the service, Nov. 16, 1864, as corporal in Co. M, 4th Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry. Corp. Groton joined his company at Bermud Hundred, Va., and later the company was joined to Gen. Butler\'s forces at Dutch Gap, where it remained until the fall of Richmond. Later the company participated in the destruction of High Bridge, the battle resulting in the defeat of the Confederates and hastening the termination of the war. Corp. Groton was discharged from the service Nov. 14, 1865, five months after the surrender of Lee\'s army. Mr. Groton\'s father, William A. Groton, was also a soldier in the Civil war. He died in 1867 and was buried at sea. Mr. Groton joined Fletcher Webster Post in June, 1911, and was elected commander Dec. 3, 1919, and installed the following January. He served several times as chief marshal of the Memorial day parade. He was exceedingly patriotic and besides his membership in the G.A.R. held membership in the Sons of Veterans. His son, C. Merle Groton, served in the world war. Mr. Groton was prominent in the Olivet Memorial church, where the funeral services will be held. The G.A.R. ritual will be performed. Essentially a home-loving man, he was never happier than when surrounded by his family. He was a man of genial disposition and sterling integrity and held the respect of all with whom he was associated. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon, with interment in Coweeset cemetery.
