Tribute From a Friend 
Fred Grimes, who died last week at this home in the Fourth district, was born 
in Meriwether Co. and moved to Coweta when quite young. In 1862 he entered the 
Confederate army as a member of Dr. Long's company, and served throughout the 
war. In 1865 he joined the Baptist church at Elim, and his delight was to do 
his Master's will, and to know that his conduct was approved by his pastor. In 
the fall of 1865 he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Millians, and from 
this union nine children were born, seven of whom survive. He was a good 
friend and neighbor, a kind husband, and a devoted father. A large number of 
relatives and friends are left to mourn his death; but we feel assured that 
our loss is his eternal gain. "Verily, he that prepares to meet his God is 
wiser than kings and priests." 
A FRIEND.
