Norfolk Virginian October 14, 1877

Yesterday at about 12:15 o'clock Mr. John W. Grimstead, of this city, was taken 
suddenly ill while in his store, No. 20 Market Square, and fell to the floor, 
complaining of severe pain in his right breast. He was at once placed in a hack 
and conveyed to his residence on Bank Street. Before the vehicle had reached his 
home, however, he breathed his last, dying in about fifteen minutes after he was 
first take sick. Drs. H.M. Nash, W.J. Moore and Alex. Tunstall were called in 
and we learn that it is thought that the deceased died of heart disease, of 
which he suffered several times in the past. At the breakfast table yesterday 
morning Mr. Grimstead expressed himself as feeling perfectly well and was in 
unusually fine spirits. He was about 32 years of age and was a member of several 
secret orders of this city. The deceased leaves a wife, to whom he had not been 
married more than twelve months, and was well and favorably known in the 
community.
