Bio
Son of Felix Grundy & Mary Jane (Rodgers) Grundy. Married Alabama Ann Pace 24 November 1895 in Cooke County, Texas. **Photo for this memorial supplied by Cynda Maddox, granddaughter to Jack & Bama Grundy. Gainesville Daily Register Saturday, August 18, 1923 JACK GRUNDY, AGE 60, a farmer residing about 3 1/2 miles south of Era, was seriously wounded this afternoon when he was shot by HARRY SHAW, age 35, a tenant farmer, residing on Grundy's place. The shooting followed a quarrel over the renting of the farm by Grundy to another man. Shaw had resided on the place about three years. . . Grundy has a wife, two sons and one daughter residing on the farm while the other daughter is married. Shaw is married and has a family. Monday, August 20, 1923 JACK GRUNDY, age 60, one of the pioneer citizens of Cooke County and a prominent man in the Era community, died in the Gainesville sanitarium Sunday morning from wounds sustained Saturday when he was shot four times by HARRY SHAW, his nephew by marriage and a tenant on the Grundy farm. The dispute had something to do with the amount of water in a windmill tank used for watering stock and Grundy had declined to rent the farm to Shaw for another year. Shaw was charged with murder. Shaw came to town and surrendered to the sheriff's department, jailed, retained RALPH BELL and JIM ADAMS as his attorneys. The body of Mr. Grundy was taken to his home near Era by S.W. Gibson and the funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the Mount Olivet Presbyterian Church, six miles south of Era. Services were conducted by Rev. G.W. BAKER of Denton and Rev. W.A. BINYON of the church. Mr. Grundy is survived by his wife, sons, EWING and SAM GRUNDY, daughters, Miss MARGARET, all at the home, and Mrs. CLYDE TRACY who resides near Era.
