[or-roots] FW: Frank Grimm Family

[DONALD SMITH]

Dear Mr. Strickland,
 
A fair question, and I thank you for asking. Thanks also for the tip.
 
To answer your question:
-My Great-Grandfather is Wm. Otto Grimm of Bemidji, MN. (your classmate Alfred F. Grimm's brother)
-My Grandfather is Wm. Donald Grimm of Duluth, MN (William Otto's Son)
-My Mother is Janice Dorothy (Grimm) Smith (Wm. Donald's daughter)
 
Frank and his family left Bemidji, MN for better work in the lumber industry. I've never had the pleasure of meeting them. 
I feel fortunate to have known my Great Grandparents Wm. Otto and his wife Bertha, who stayed behind in Bemidji.
 
I am really trying to piece together the family story, more than just names and dates and I have compiled a great deal of 
information so far, but I have hit the proverbial wall regarding Frank and his family because of the distance.
 
Very Respectfully,
 
Don Smith
Mesa, AZ

If anyone can point me in a direction that will help me find these things, I would appreciate it.I'd probably start at the Klamath County Library, were I in K Falls.  If not, I'd make some effort to get there or find a local volunteer.I believe their microfilm of the local paper (Herald & News - http://www.heraldandnews.com/) covers the time period required for obits, and probably some birth announcements. Obits would possibly have fraternal info.If Alfred is Alfred F Grimm, KUHS 1957 - 1961, a couple of us probably went to school with him, not that that means we knew the family ...Which begs the next question, "How are you specifically related to these folks?"Cheers!Bill StricklandOregon City, OR
