The news of Mr. Grimshaw's death
was known by a few persons Satur-
day night and by many yesterday
morning.
A great many people had not even
heard that the postmaster was dan
gerously ill and the news was unex-
pected as we'll as sad. Mr. Grimshaw
a week ago was apparently a well
man although it was known that he
was suffering from colds which are
said to have been contracted while at
tending to his duties in the local post
office. Suddenly the cold developed
into pneumonia and Mr.. Grimshaw
was compelled to go to bed. He grew
steadily worse however, rallying Sat
urday morning in a way that gave
his relatives and friends hopes that
he would recover. But Saturday af-
, ternoon he again relapsed and despite
the efforts of able physicians and
: nurses, the postmaster grew weaker
and weaker, breathing his last at 10
4 p. m.
, Mr.. Grimshaw is survived by a wild
ow, and three children: one daughter
Miss Josie Grimshaw and two sons,
Ira Grimshaw and Alfred Grimshaw.
