- Mrs. Jacob Grimes
Mrs. Jacob Grimes, a life long resident of Blount township, and one of the most widely known women in the community in which she had resided for so many years, passed away at her home, about tow miles northwest of Ames Corners, yesterday morning, June 6, 1916, at 5;15 o'clock. Mrs. Grimes, who was affectionately known as "Grandma" Grimes among her hosts of friends, had been in ill health for a long time and her demise did not come unexpectedly.
Mrs. Grimes was born in Blount township and with the exception of the first year of her married life, had always resided in the neighborhood of her birth. She was one of ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. John Shumate. Mrs. Grimes was united in marriage to Jacob Grimes in Ford County in 1860 and for one year resided in that county. Following her husband's enlistment in the Union army for service in the Civil war she returned to this county and had since resided here.
Eight children were born to the decedent and six of them preceded their mother in death. The surviving children are: W.S. Grimes, the well know grocer of Danville; Mrs. Drusilla Rush, of Georgetown, and Mrs. Thomas Rambo, widow of the late police officer, who passed away about three weeks ago.
The surviving brother is Spencer Shumate, of Lexington, Ky. Funeral services for Mrs. Grimes will be conducted from the late home Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The burial will be in the Cline cemetery.
