JACOB GRIMES DEAD.
Another OF the Pioneers Has Passed to the
Great Beyond.
(sANILAc COUNTY TIMES or FER. I5)

(sANILAc COUNTY TIMES or FEB. l5)
"A life of usefulness and honor was
finished on Wednesday at noon when
Jacob Grimes, of Peck, passed to "that
bourne from which no traveller re-
turns" after long life of earnest en-
deavor in this world, but more particu-
larly in Speaker township and Peck,
where he spent the greater part of his
life.
Mr. Grimes was born in England,
March Is, 1880, and lived in his native
land until after obtaining his majority,
coming to Canada when just past 81
years of age. A few years later he was
married TO his first wife, Miss Hannah
Smith, shortly after coming TO Speaker
township where he cleared up a farm
and lived for over thirty years, then
coming to Peck and building the grist
mill about IA years ago.
A number of years after coming to
Speaker township his first wife died
and % years ago he was married TO EN-
lily Cork, the Borrowing wife who sur
wives him.
The deceased was known for his
honest principles and every man who
ever had any dealings with him always
received his just due. He was hard
working man and by his own effort
had amassed considerable property,
and while he had disposed of his mill
interests some time ago on account of
failing health, he still had considerable
other property.
He was the oldest member of the Nj.
+. Church on the Peck charge and was
true Christian i'm all that the word
implies, and man who always did
what he thought right regardless of the
personal opinion of any person.
He was one of the men that this or
any other country may well feel proud
of and only for the works Of such no
bic pioneers as he this country would
not occupy the place that il does. lie
was generous to a fault and we are
told that no man ever left his door,
hungry. During his life he would visit
the humblest homes and literally show
er comforts upon the poor, the sick and
the hungry, remembering that Bible
injunction:-"He that giveth TO the
poor lendeth to the Lord"
During his seven years of failing
health his wife and family have done
all in their power.to make his declining
years as pleasant as possible, and he
died peacefully of old age, knowing
that he had had every attention posi-
BILE from his family.
He leaves to mourn his loss eleven
children, seven by his first and four by
his second wife, namely, James W.,
Peck: George, Speaker; Emma and
Jennie. Holland, Mich; Nancy, Brain
ard, Mimi; Sexton, Water Valley, Miss;
Charles, oungstown, o.; Frances, Chi
cagO; and Herbert, Arthur and Grace
at home, and also his widow.
The funeral will be held from the NJ.
+. church, Peck, on Saturday afternoon,
Rev. Bean officiating, after which the
remains will be laid to rest in Speaker
cemetery.

to say that Mr.. Futz was one Of "thc
people" who Thought they could very
well dispense with my services, for
while | was ON the board he could never
get over $50 per month out Of the
county for acting as clerk hence his
anxiety to see some one else who was
more liberal with the county funds. and
his wish was gratiticd, and more funds
were Immediately coughed up for his
benefit. rs is evidence by the list above
which he asks an intelligent public to
believe consists of "a large percent, for
court work." get he tells you that he
"knows the respectable citizens of oul

coarse practices" rs indulge in re-.
greet to say that it is the practice OF
some people to try and hide behind &

of over-nicety, and in their playing t.
the grand stand, forget facts.

UNTIMELY DEAThOF
MISSAMY GUSTAFSON

Another sad death occurred in Fort
Pierce last Sunday noon, when Miss Amy
Gustafson, the l7-year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. A. Gustafson, OF
White City, breathed her last at the
home of her brother, f. G. Gustafson,
lust south of the Fort Pierce hotel.
Miss Gustafson has been i'll about
three weeks, and was suffering with
typhoid fever, and despite all that
medical attention and loving hands
could do her life passed out at the hour
given above.
Funeral services were conducted at
her brothers residence, and interment
made in the White City cemetery, Mon
day afternoon, six young men OF her
age and her former school mates acting
as pallbearers. The floral offerings
surpassed in profusion and beauty any
thing ever seen at the cemetery be-
fore. and were tender tokens OF the
love and esteem in which the deceased
was held by those who knew her BEST
and among whom she had lived Tor
seven or eight years. While she has
gone from the scenes, the conflicts, the
sorrows and pleasures of life. she vii
still live in the hearts of those who
knew her best. Her retiring nature
led her to hide her best qualities from
the public gaze, but they were re
vealed to those who enjoyed her &C
quaintance, yet it was in her home thai
her true worth was most conspicuous
She was loving and kind daughter
and a true sister, and her devotion t.
the family circle had no limit. Besides
father, mother and brother as men
toned above, she leaves sister, Mrs
w. C. Keister. of Roanoke, Va, t
mourn her loss.
The TRIBUNE joins the hosts
friends in extending heartfelt sympath
TO those that are bereaved.
