Above is a stock certificate for the Griswoldville Manufacturing Co., sold to Edward Hollister, Sarah Hollister’s grandfather, in 1922. It is signed by Lorenzo Griswold, President of the company and son of founder Joseph Griswold. Joseph’s photo is on the stock certificate.

Below is a photo of Lorenzo Griswold’s home on Main Road in Griswoldville, now gone, where only two river-stone pillars mark the entrance to what is now a parking lot. We don’t know when this house was demolished. Please contact us if you have any information about the date.
