GRIST Thomas Grist Mustered Out.

Thomas Grist, a veteran of the Civil War was “mustered out” from, this life May 15, 1915. Mr. Grist was of English stock. He was born in Fairfield, Kent, England, Oct. 29, 1840, the youngest of seven sons and four daughters of Charles and Mary Grist. The father died leaving the widow with ten children. Mrs. Grist came to this country with her family in 1850 and settled in Bradford county. Mrs. Eliza Rockwell of West Burlington, with whom Mr. Grist made his home during the past twelve years, is the only surviving member of this large family.   Nearly the entire life of the deceased was spent in the western part of this county. Early in the war of the rebellion he responded to the call for volunteers enlisting in Co. E. 52d Reg. Pa. Volunteers. His service in behalf of the Union was marked by the daring of a large powerful man who knew no fear. At the battle of Fair Oaks he was severely wounded in the hip, and together with some of his comrades fell into the hands of the rebels. They considered Grist too badly wounded to survive and left him in an old house. The Irish brigade appeared bringing relief, and after several days’ suffering his wound received attention.  It was the true fighting grit to do and to endure in such men as he that ultimately won the fight. He was in the service three years and two months.   In 1870, Mr. Grist and Carrie Smith (the latter from Germany) were married. Of three sons and one daughter born to them one son died in infancy. Those surviving are Bert Grist of Washington, D. C., Lawrence Grist and Mrs. Wilson Simpson of Sayles, Pa. TGR 1915
