Lake Odessa Wave-Times-Oct. 30, 1930

PROMINENT EARLY BUSINESS MAN DIED
Word comes by wire to Mr. and Mrs. George Becker of the death of Frank Nims of
Stockton, California.

Mr. Nims was one of the earliest business men of Lake Odessa. He established the
elevator now owned by Smith Bros., Velte & Co., was a pardner in the Nims & Weed addition on
the west side of the village, and took a special interest in the government of the town,
being its president at one time. He built his home here, the one now owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Johnson.

He left here about 1910, going to California, locating in Stockton, where he did a
thriving business in the elevator line, dealing largely in eastern beans for western
consumption. This business brought him satisfactory returns and kept him as busy as when in
business here. He was entirely captivated by the climate of California and when on a visit to
friends here, would urge them to come to that land of perpetual flowers. His wife passed
away about 1915.

He leaves a son Voight; two sons Harry with whom he lived and Herbert, a twin, and
two younger daughters Gertrude and Florence, and two grandchildren, He was 73 years of
age.

He will be remembered by many that the twin boys were so nearly alike that only a
few could tell them apart.
