To clarify my questions regarding Frederick C. Grimm, I am typing in his obit so you can see my problem -- FREDERICK C. GRIMM'S FUNERAL SERVICE HELD AT INDIAN HEAD CHURCH The funeral service for Frederick C. Grimm, 88 years old, (This would make him born in 1844 not 1848) who died Friday in the home of his son, John C. Grimm, of Luzerne township, near Merritstown, was held Sunday afternoon at the United Brethren Church at Indian Head. Rev. H. C. Gonso, pastor of the Church of God at Indian Head, and Rev. David Hunter of Republic officiated. The church choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee,' and "The Old Rugged Cross." Pallbearers were Clarence, Robert, Carl and Albert Grimm, Fred Carry and Wallace Austin. Interment was in the church cemetery. The service at the church was preceded by a prayer in the son's home. Mr. Grimm was born at Normalville, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Grimm, (I have his parents as Peter Grim Jr. and Catherine Cossel) and with the exception of a few years, which he had spent among his children, he had resided all of his life there. He was a farmer by occupation and was the last of a family of seven children. (I have 9 children) He was widely known throughout the Indian Creek Valley. Besides his sons, John C. and William the last named of Uniontown and his two daughters, Mrs. Ida Vernon and Mrs. Bessie Glover, both of Connellsville, he is survived by 12 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. His wife, who was Miss Ellen Showman before her marriage, died 32 years ago. Source: Daily Courier, Connellsville, PA, Wednesday, June 1, 1932 The children listed in this obit, are correct according to his census records. I am currently seeking all his children's obits to see if they mention who their parents were. So far, none of the obits have. I have his wife's obit also. Frederick does not have a brother named David. I am going to send for his obit, that might solve my problem. I hope I haven't opened a "can of worms" here, as this info has been on line for years. If it is incorrect, I want to correct when I am done working on my Grimm line and get it back on line. Frederick C. is listed with his parents Peter and Catherine in the 1850 and 1860 census records. Frederick is 12 on the 1860 census, not 16 like he should be according to his obit. Thanks to all of you listers that have replied to my questions. I appreciate all input. Joyce
