He had been failing in health for the past three years, but was able to be up until the day he died, and took a ride to Pottersburg by himself Monday, although in a very weak condition.

Stoll, of Allen township, who survives him with the following children, all of whom reside at the parental home: Ralph, Elva, Fred, Walter, and Earl. Mr. Grimes' parents both died a number of years ago, and he has no brothers or sisters living.
