When I read the full obit for Frank Grimes Baker, it make me wonder if he is connected to my Grimes family. I've traced back his family through census info and it appears that Florence Grimes and Charles A. Baker were not married very long. Anyone know more about this Stephen Grimes line? I'm also curious about Gladys Laird who married Charles Frank Baker since I have Laird family too from Pendleton Twp. Anyone know more about her family?
