Misc. Notes
Birth was recorded in Birth Record No. 1, p. 190, St. Marys, Pleasants Co., WV. The certificate wasn’t filed until July 9, 1942. His parents were given as Edward E. Grimm, carpenter, and Emma M. Locke.
Chick was close to his half-brother, Everett. Everett was working in Michigan and got Chick a job there. Lillian came to visit and they got married in Kalamazoo.11

Who is Glenn? Could it be Melvin, Chick’s brother, who died as a child? Or is he a previously unknown (or forgotten) brother? Could he be the son of Pearl Grimm, Edward’s brother? The age is off by a few years, and he’d be a cousin to Charles, not a brother. Also, he was enumerated with his parents in the 1930 Census, but on April 16, 1930. That would have given him time to travel between the two places. Or could he be Chick’s brother, Elmer Pearl Grimm, with the name recorded incorrectly. That would make some sense, as Elmer doesn’t appear elsewhere in the 1930 Census.
