Charles GRIMES, aged 62 years, and his wife, aged 60 years, prominent residents of Denver, Ind., where they were born and raised, were instantly killed Sunday when a cyclone swept over the state of Wisconsin, destroying everything in its path. Mr. and Mrs. Grimes are the owners of 300 acres of land in north central Wisconsin and left their home at Denver two weeks ago to look over the property. The message announcing their death was received at Denver Monday morning by Clinton Grimes, a son, but no particulars were given. It is known Mr. Grimes went to Wisconsin to build a shack on his land, and it is surmised both he and his wife took refuge in the shack when the storm broke. Clinton [GRIMES] and Richard GRIMES, sons of the deceased, left by automobile Monday morning for the scene of the tragedy and are expected to arrive at their destination Tuesday morning. The remains of both father and mother will be brought back to Denver. Mr. Grimes is one of the substantial citizens of Denver, owning a comfortable home and a number of store buildings in the town in addition to the land in Wisconsin. Deputy Sheriff Vern ZARTMAN who returned Sunday from a two weeks' fishing trip through Wisconsin, visited with the Grimes family last Wednesday.
