Henry Archer Grimes

March 23, 1848 - Oct 18, 1869



A few years after the Civil War, during the Northern occupation,  Tom and Henry

, brothers,  went on a cattle drive to Kansas.  Back in Waco on Oct 18, 1869

they were celebrating their successful return, as well as Tom’s approaching

marriage. Tom had the wedding ring, and his new clothes, on his horse.  It was

common then, in Waco, to have a few drinks in the saloon then ride around the

Courthouse and shoot up.   The Sheriff attempted to arrest them, but they rode

off.  Union Soldiers pursued, there was a shoot-out and both boys were killed.



Buried in old First Street Cemetery
