Ringgold Record, 1877

NOTICE of DEATH.

TINGLEY--DIED--May 27th, 1877, at his late residence in Tingley township, Ringgold Co., Iowa, P.J. [Pleasant J.] GRIMES, in the 49th year of his age.

The subject of the above notice was born in Putnam county, Indiana [1827], where he resided until the year 1860, when he removed to Iowa. He was one of our most enterprising farmers and stock raisers, and had succeeded by his industry in making one of the finest farms in the county. He was one of the few men of our day of whom it could be said: "His word can be relied upon in all his transactions with his fellow man." His wife and three children mourn his loss, and the community feel that a good man has been taken from their midst.

NOTE: P. J. GRIMES was interred at Tingley Cemetery, Tingley, Ringgold County, Iowa. Edgar, son of P. J. GRIMES, was born in 1863, and died on January 13, 1892 with interment at Tingley Cemetery.
