additional 500 acres of the same survey for which he paid them $1,750.

Additional Comments:
At this same time, his older brother, Samuel W. Grimes purchased for $5,000 
1589 acres ($3.15/acre) part of the Henry Farley Survey Coryell County.  S.W.
Grimes in turn sold off sections of the land individually usually for $10 to
$15/ acre.

F.M. Grimes Jr held onto his land even increasing his acreage by purchasing
nearby acres.
