Passing: Ulysses S. Grant V

From The Associated Press via NY Times:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Ulysses S. Grant V, the last surviving great-grandson of the nation’s 18th president, died Wednesday in a southwest Missouri home brimming with artifacts from his great-grandfather. He was 90.

His death was confirmed by a grandson, Ulysses S. Grant VI.

Mr. Grant, who lived in the small town of Battlefield, south of Springfield, spent part of his youth in the home of his grandfather Jesse Grant, the president’s youngest son.
