England's oldest clergyman dies at areia past eighty
The Rev. George Dawitz Grundy passed peacefully at his senet fey, Oldham parish. A clerical veteran of over 70 years, he served as parson despite long illness and never had a curate until age 76. He remembered reading a lesson before Queen Victoria when Princess Victoria was 16, and later heard the Queen recall his service during his winter ministry anniversary.
