Obituary: On Tuesday evening, March 30th, the death occurred of John Grimm, a respected citizen of this place at the age of 69 years. About three weeks ago, he was taken with a sore foot which developed into gangrene. After a few days of intense suffering, the doctors decided to amputate his leg in order to save his life. The operation was performed and Mr.Grimm seemed to be doing nicely up until a short time before his death. He leaves a widow, one son, and four daughters besides a number of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon in the Methodist Church conducted by Rev. Percy Johnson, Methodist, assisted by Rev. M.W. Brown, Baptist, and was largely attended.
