Boynton Index, 13 Jan 1922

From the Dennison (Ia) Bulletin Herald we learned that R E Grason for many years a practicing attorney in this city, died at Council Bluffs, Ia, December 26, at the age of 61 years. Mrs Grason died in a Muskogee hospital in 1917. A short time after her death, Mr Grason underwent an operation in Kansas City from which he never fully recovered. While on a visit to his sister, Mrs O W Cook, at Weldon, Colo, which resulted in his death. 'Bob' as he was so well known here, came to Boynton when it was a straggling village and engaged in the practice of law and aided in the building of the town. He had a host of friends who join us in extending sympathy to his relatives.
