Mrs. Hans Grimm was taken violently ill with pneumonia last Wednesday and died of the attack at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. Almost from the first day her son, Dr. Peter Grimm, of Arlington, saw the case was a hopeless one and word was sent to Dr. Arthur Grimm, of New York, to come home as soon as possible if he wished to see his mother alive. He arrived just at midnight and thus all were present when the end came. Rev. A.E. Marsh conducted the funeral services at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, after which all that is mortal of the beloved wife and mother was laid to rest beside her son, William, whose death occurred in May 1901. Miss Elizabeth Hardens was born in Holstein, Germany, on March 29, 1842 and was married to Hans Grimm in this city on June 11, 1869. This wedding has become noted as the first marriage ceremony to be performed in Blair. Besides her husband she leaves one daughter, Anna, and six stalwart sons, C.H., Hans, Louie and Eddie, who live at home, and Dr. Peter of Arlington, and Dr. Arthur of New York.
