GEORGE W. GRIMES, farmer, P. O. Moorefield, was born in Nicholas County,
Ky., Aug. 30, 1815, to David and Nancy (Clark) Grimes; he was a native of
North Carolina, a farmer by occupation, and died in 1832; his wife, Nancy,
was born in Nicholas County, Ky., and died in 1864; they reared a family
of eight children, of whom our subject was the second; he was educated in
the common schools of Nicholas County, Ky., and in the State of Indiana;
he commenced his career in life in a saw and grist mill, where he remained
eight years, and then turned his attention to farming, which he still
follows; he was married in Nicholas County, Ky., May 10, 1843, to Miss
Serelda Clark, who was born in Nicholas County, June 3, 1827; by this
marriage they have had the following children: Nancy, Thomas, John, Laura,
Jerry, William, George, Warner, David, Francis and Sarah, six of whom are
still living.  Mr. and Mrs. Grimes are both members of a church, but of
different denominations; he is a Presbyterian, she a Methodist; he has
thirty-four acres of land on which he grows the usual farm crops; he is
a man, never weary in well doing, looking to the interests of those around
him, as well as his own, and is universally held in high esteem by all
who know him; in his political ideas he is Democratic.
