Obituary: Mrs. Wilhelmina Augusta GRIMM, aged 74 years, 8 months and 27 
days, died Saturday (July 11) morning at 3:30 o'clock at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. Helen GREENE, in St. Louis. She had been in failing 
health for some time. Mrs. GRIMM was born in Germany on October 14, 1861. 
When quite young she came to this country. At mature age she was united in 
marriage with Robert HAUSTEIN of this city, who died a number of 
years ago. Later she married Ernest GRIMM, who also preceded her in death 
three years ago. For some time past she has made her home with the daughter, 
Mrs. GREENE, in St. Louis. The remains were brought to this city to the 
Carleton Funeral Cottage, from where the funeral was held Monday afternoon, 
services being conducted at the Zion Lutheran church, Rev. J.G F. Kleinhans 
officiating. Interment was in Memorial Park. The venerable lady is survived by 
two daughters, Mrs. Robert BOSWELL and Mrs. Helen GREENE of St. Louis; 
three sons, Oscar HAUSTEIN of Chicago, Robert HAUSTEIN of Belleville and 
William HAUSTEIN of Staunton; four stepdaughters, Mrs. Emma BAUMAN of 
Staunton; Misses Frieda and Anna GRIMM of St. Louis, and Mrs. Minnie 
HAUSTEIN of Golden City, MO; three stepsons, Paul, Curt and Jack GRIMM 
of this city, also other more distant relatives. Mrs. GRIMM, during her long 
residence in our city, earned the respect of all who met her. She was a devoted 
member of the local Zion Lutheran church. The many friends of the family extend 
sincere sympathy.
