from the Plainfield Messenger (Plainfield, Indiana) - issue of March 2, 1927 - page 6, column 5:
GOOD WOMAN GONE
Many in this county were saddened to learn of the death on Feb. 20, of Sarah Grimes Dillon, at her home in Cincinnati. Funeral and interment at that place on the 22nd. She was the daughter of Elias and Sarah Phillips Grimes, and was born near Coatesville, May 14, 1858. All the younger years of her life were spent in that community. She was of a kind and lovable nature, and all with whom she came in contact felt the influence of a sweet Christian character. To know her was to love her. Besides her husband, John Dillon, she is survived by three brothers, John W. Grimes, of Long Beach, Cal.; Nelson Grimes, of Newton, Iowa, and Samuel B. Grimes, of Zionsville, and one sister, Susannah Kendall, of Indianapolis, and a number of other relatives. Surely a good woman has claimed her reward.

from The Republican (Danville, Indiana) – issue of Thursday, June 9, 1927 – page 7, column 4
FORMER HOOSIER DIES AT HIS HOME IN IOWA
Word comes to Hendricks county relatives of the death of Elias Nelson Grimes, Tuesday, May 31, at his home in Newton, Iowa. He had been in poor health for some time, and a stroke of apoplexy on the 20th hastened his passing. He was the son of Elias and Sarah Phillips Grimes, and was born on a farm near Coatesville, May 24, 1856. His younger years were spent in that community, and he will be remembered by a number of friends and relatives. He was of a kind and happy disposition, and made friends wherever he went.
Forty-six years ago, after the death of his mother, he and his father moved to Iowa and that state has been his home since that time.
He was united in marriage to Minnie Tice, at Pella, Iowa, on January 11, 1885. The widow with two daughters and one grandson are left to mourn their loss. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Susannah Kendall, of Indianapolis, who has been an invalid, confined to her bed for two years, and two brothers, John W. Grimes, of Long Beach, Cal., and Samuel B. Grimes, of Zionsville, Indiana.
