C. Gus Grason (November 8, 1881 – February 19, 1953)[1][2] was a justice of the Maryland Court of Appeals from 1942 to 1951.[3]
Born in Towson, Maryland, to Ida May (née Brown) and John Grason. He was grandson of Maryland judge Richard Grason,[1] Grason received his law degree from the University of Maryland Law School,[1][2] and gained admission to the Maryland Bar in November 1907.[1] He was an unsuccessful candidate for state's attorney for Baltimore County in 1919, and later served on the Maryland Third Circuit Court of Appeals from 1926 to 1941.[1][2] His appointment as Chief Judge of that circuit in 1942 automatically placed him on the state's highest court.[2]
On June 4, 1910, Grason married Murial Skipwith Powers, with whom he had a daughter and two sons.[1] Grason died in a nursing home in Towson at the age of 71, following a lengthy battle with failing health.[2] He was buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Towson.[1]
