Biographical / Historical

Real Estate Dealer, Baptist Layman

Granville Malcom, an old-time resident of Denver and a well known mining man and real estate dealer, died at his residence at the Arno Apartments, 1811 Grant Street, yesterday, after an illness of one week, from heart trouble.

Malcom came to Denver in 1882 from Philadelphia. He entered the real estate business soon after his arrival here, and was for many years one of the best known real estate men in the city. Of late years he had devoted much of his attention to mining property, and was an owner in many of the best known mines in the state. He was one of the organizers of the Colorado Woman's College, and was a member of the Board of Trustees until his death. He was a prominent member of the First Baptist Church, and was also a member of the Board of Trustees of that institution.

He was unmarried. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Jesse Cox of Chicago, and one brother, Arthur Malcom of Philadelphia. A niece and nephew, children of Mrs. Cox, are now on their way to Denver, and funeral arrangements will not be made until their arrival.
