Obituary from Waynesburg Republican, Nov. 2, 1881:
“Mr. Armstrong Grim died at his late residence in Richhill, near Jacksonville, Friday the 21st, last. The disease from which he died was, we learn, something like inflammatory rheumatism, his age being about seventy years. Mr. Grim was long a resident of the township in which he died, and was known as one of the solid, reliable and upright men of that community--quiet and unobtrusive, he was straight forward in his transactions with his fellow men and interfered not with the business of others. He leaves a widow--his second wife, and a family of grown-up children--some of whom are identified with the business interests of the west end of the county.”794
