Henry Walton Grinnell-- Part 5: Imperial Japanese Navy and Spanish-American War

In the China-Japanese War he saw active service in the Battle of Yalu River, the decisive naval engagement of that war.  When he was honorably discharged at the end of the war, as vice admiral, he received a substantial gratuity.

He was married  in 1874, in Sydney, Australia, to  Louise I.S. Pratt.  He married his second wife in June 1910, Florence G. Roche, of Boston, Massachusetts.

Returning to the United States he found his country at war with Spain and re-entered the Navy as a volunteer lieutenant and served on the USS Iowa until peace was declared.

Thereafter, he lived in retirement in Puntarassa, Florida, and Boston.

He died in St. Augustine, Florida, and is buried at Arlington.
