I've "rescued" an old photograph of Nancy Alice VINCENT GRIMES and two of
her children, Ruby GRIMES and George GRIMES Jr. The photograph is said to
have been taken in either 1886 or 1887 with the children appearing to be
infant - 4 years old at the time. Their Mother Nancy looks to be in her
30's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I
believe that this is a photograph of Nancy Alice VINCENT who married George
Milton GRIMES on 16 Dec 1873 in Wichita, KS and died 18 Sept 1891.
Their daughter Ruby GRIMES was b. 17 Aug 1882 in Derby, KS and married James
Arthur CLARK on 12 Dc 1905 in Wichita, KS and died 6 May 1969. A son George
Milton GRIMES Jr. was born 8 Jul 1886 in Wichita, KS and died 28 Sept 1944.
In 1900 the family was living in Wichita during the census with records
providing the following information:
George GRIMES, age 47, born June 1852, married 6 years, born OH, parents
born PA, a Meat Market Owner
Jennie GRIMES, wife, age 43, born Mar 1857, married 6 years, 3 children/3
living, born OH, parents born DE/OH
Sarah GRIMES, dau, age 20, born June 1879, born KS, parents born OH
Ruby GRIMES, dau, age 17, born Aug 1882, born KS, parents born OH, at School
George GRIMES, son, age 13, born July 1886, born KS, parents born OH, at
School
In 1910 the family was still living in Wichita, KS with census records
providing the following information:
George M. GRIMES, age 57, a widower, born OH, parents born USA/OH, a City
Assessor
His son George M. GRIMES Jr. was also living in Wichita, KS with census
records providing the following information:
George M. GRIMES Jr., age 23, married 3 years, born KS, parents born OH, a
Cattle Buyer
Nellie M. GRIMES, wife, age 23, married 3 years, 1 child/1 living, born NE,
parents born IA
Alice M. GRIMES, dau, age 1, born KS
In 1920 the GRIMES Family was living in Kansas City, MO with census records
providing the following information:
George M. GRIMES, age 33, born KS, parents born OH, A Cattle Salesman
Nellie E. GRIMES, wife, age 33, born NE, parents born IA
Nellie A. GRIMES, dau, age 11, born KS
Harry C. GRIMES, son, age 8, born KS
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to the care of family.
If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please
contact me.
Thanks,
