Yesterday....I asked: ---------------------------- Does anyone know which GRIMES the area known as GRIMES GROVE, IN......... was named after?? Possibly.........Rolla GRIMES ???? ---------------------------- In today's digest came an answer: ---- Lisa, My recollection is that Grimes Grove was simply a wooded area on the William Grimes farm just west of Union City. It was a popular place for holding family reunions. The farm was acquired by the city around 1940 and it then became known as Harter Park. It remains as the city park today. Billy ----------------------- Not Rolla...but that's okay. William was a part of my husband's line and if I remember correctly, was I think....Rolla's brother. I have a supposedly "current" map of the area...that shows this as GRIMES GROVE, not "Harter Park", and that's why I wanted to ask. It's very nice to know some of the history about that spot. *S* THANK YOU, Lisa

Does anyone know who "Harter Park" (mentioned below) was named after? Just curious as I have a Harter line.
