179Obituary came from Lanny Grim. He notes that last name is misspelled in both the obituary and on her tombstone. It should be spelled “Grim”, not “Grimm”. She died in 1924.
Lanny gave her death date as Oct. 19, 1924, not Oct. 22 as in obituary. However, Oct. 22 was a Wednesday, as obituary says, so I am going to enter that as the date, and Oct. 24 as date of burial.
