Mr. Grimes Dead
 
News has just reached us that Mr. Gabriel Grimes, of Jackson county, 
formerly an honored citizen of Madison, has passed over the dark river 
into the great beyond.  It is customary, whether deserving or not, to 
say something good when a fellow being is taken from us, but nothing 
we could say of this good man would be enough.  That he lived the life 
of an honest, christian citizen, is known by all who knew him.  
A devoted father and husband, a man who believed in the religion of the 
blessed Savior, his death will be regretted by all who knew him.  His 
death occured yesterday evening, and his remains were interred today 
near his home in Jackson county...
