A newspaper article from the Troy Independent American, published on 22 April 1857, as transcribed by Susie K. Senn in her book "Newspaper Abstracts from Pike County, Alabama 1855-1861":
The Oldest Man in Pike - Samuel D. Grimes, aged 110 years, and the oldest citizen of this county, died a few days since at his residence. Mr. Grimes enjoyed almost uninterrupted health up to a year or so before his death. For a great part of his life he was a member of the Baptist Church, and died as he lived, an honest, upright citizen and Christian.
He is the 5th great granddad of Cheryl Walters Parr.
