G. A. and one of Brooklyn's Grand Old Men, who died yesterday of old age at the Brooklyn Nursing Home at 1690 Ocean Ave, Honors also will be paid to the noted veteran by his Masonic brethren by the presence at the funeral of a representative of the Grand Lodge of this State. Roosevelt Admirer General Griffith, who knew Lincoln, was a warm admirer of President Roosevelt. To an Eagle reporter a few years ago he said: "Lincoln was a great man, the greatest of his day.

But I think Roosevelt Is a greater man." The interview took place In the general's home at 90 Rogers Ave, and the then 90-year-old veteran, an ardent Republican, spoke fervently. "Roosevelt has original ideas and a fine education," he continued. "When ho found he was elected President he promised to lead us out of the depression and he's done It. We are out of it now. No other person but Roosevelt could have done that." His friendship with Lincoln was one of General Griffith's most cherished memories, however.

Lincoln Once Led Troops On one occasion General Griffith told of how Lincoln once led a detachment of Union troops to battle. It seemed that Washington was threatened by Gen. Jubel Early's Confederate raiders and two companies of 102d Pennsylvania Volunteers, including Griffith, then a soldier in the ranks, were rushed by steamer to help defend the city on July 11. 1864. Lincoln met the troops at the pier, shaking hands with the soldiers.

Then, taking a seat in his barouche, he led the way to threatened Fort Stevens, while the soldiers double-timed behind. Arriving at the fort, Lincoln sprang to the parapet, while the troops he led attacked the rebels with bayonet. Was Target for Enemy With his stove-pipe hat, Lincoln was a target for the enemy, but stood unperturbed while bullets flew about him and soldiers were hit near him. "He loved all the soldier boys," said General Griffith. "When he took my hand in both of his and said: 'My dear boy' my father couldn't have said it more affectionately." Although he was not a native of Brooklyn, General Griffith was one of its noted citizens for more than 70 years.

He had filled a number of political posts, had been an active newspaperman and was the bor ough's most noted Civil War veteran. Championed Honest Politics He was always a champion of honest politics and a prominent figure In movements for civic betterment. While employed as a City Hall reporter In the years before Brooklyn had become a part of New York City, he observed the inner workings and shady machina tions of many of the local political bosses. He recalled that he was once threatened with physical vio lence by Mayor James Howell in Brooklyn. "Fifty years ago Brooklyn was a wide open town," he said last year.

"Things were done then that would not even be thought of today. Those were the days of Fighting Alfred Daggett, a sheriff who ruled with an lror hand. "Today, one has to run things pretty straight or get caught. Things have become more civilized and straight-laced, and people have had to act accordingly." Chiropractor at 76 General Griffith was a student of chiropractic and became a chiropractor at 76. He was a member of the New York State Chiropractic Society and the Long Island Dls trlct Chiropractic Society.

He also belonged to the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, and the Society of Old Brooklynites and the 11th, 18th and 21st A. D. Republican clubs. He also had been a member of the Kings County Republican Executive and County Committees. In the G.

R. he had served as a dele' gate to many national and State encampments and as aide on the Btans of Commanders-in-Chief, de partment commanders and local grand marshals. He was one of the oldest active Masons in Brooklyn and was mar thai and patriarch of the Brooklyn Masonic Veterans. He was past master and historian of Sylvan Grove Lodge, 275, F. A.

and later affiliated with Hill Grove Lodge, 510, F. A. M. He was a trustee of the Kings County Civil Employes Benevolent Association, Sidney Witkowsky Dies at Age of 48 Sidney Witkowsky, 48, known to his associates as Sidney Witte, a compositor in the Brooklyn Eagle Preess since March 13, 1924, died yesterday In Swedish Hospital.
