Grandelmeyer, Mrs. Caroline

She was born at Crow Wing, where her father was the first settler; and was married to Chris. Grandelmeyer in April, 1864. She removed to Brainerd in 1873, where she is now doing a prosperous business as Milliner and Dressmaker. She is one of the eleven children of Allan Morrison, one of Minnesota's earliest pioneers; Morrison County was named after him. (History of the Upper Mississippi Valley, Winchell, Neill, Williams and Bryant, Minnesota Historical Company, Minneapolis: 1881; p. 651)

                Got Drunk and Fell In.

      Last Tuesday morning about four o'clock, Mrs. Grandelmyer, hearing a suspicious noise at the door of her millinery establishment, under the dwelling apartment, descended the stairs, and there found the terror of all women, a man, as sure as the world! She immediately requested him to become scarce in that vicinity, but receiving no response, extended a second invitation, to which he replied that he wouldn't vamoose, if he was thoroughly acquainted with himself, or words to that effect, at least. Not succeeding by the ordinary efforts of moral suasion to convince the intruder that his company was not desired, the plucky lady presumed to try a little muscular argument, which in part proved effective at least in stirring him up to a realization of his position, and the probable results. At this juncture two gentlemen, attracted by the racket, appeared and peremptorily ordered him to skip, which he accordingly did. Mrs. Grandelmyer soon started in quest of Sheriff Mertz, and after finding our worthy official, a search was at once instigated to discover the whereabouts of the untimely caller. He was soon discovered, and taken into custody, asserting his innocence, and excusing himself on the ground that he was drunk, and had fallen in through a broken glass in the door, which in reality he had broken by running his foot through in the struggle before mentioned, and which was about large enough for a small child to crawl through. On Wednesday morning he appeared before hizzoner, Judge Sleeper, and after a brief examination, he was bound over to court in the sum of $500, to await the action of the grand jury, but failing to have the necessary "sponds" at that time, or an equivalent therefor, he was taken to the freezer, to board at the county's expense until next September. (Brainerd Tribune, 16 April 1881, p. 1, c. 4)

      Wanted, immediately; two apprentice girls for millinery at Mrs. Grandelmyer's store. (Brainerd Tribune, 30 April 1881, p. 1, c. 1)

      Newt. Nelson, the man who has been lying in jail some time, for breaking into Mrs. Grandelmyer's store, made a break for liberty last Thursday and succeeded in escaping. He had somehow contrived to manufacture a false key, and thus let himself out. (Brainerd Tribune, 28 May 1881, p. 1, c. 2)

      Pedro, the large dog owned by Mrs. Grandelmyer, bit a small boy, a son of Chas. Haggberg [sic] very severely on Wednesday, and the police were ordered to shoot the dog which was done. The boy was running along the sidewalk on Front street in front of the lady's millinery store when the dog sprang out on him. It is not thought that the bite will result seriously, although this is bad weather for such business. This is the third dog Chief Shontell has killed for the same cause this week. (Brainerd Dispatch, 31 July 1885, p. 3, c. 3)

      Mrs. C. Grandelmyer will reopen her millinery store in Aitkin the latter part of September. (Brainerd Dispatch, 29 July 1892, p. 4, c. 3)

      A new cement sidewalk is being laid in front of Mrs. Grandelmyer's property on Front Street. (Brainerd Dispatch, 09 August 1895, p. 4, c. 3)

      On Monday evening Mrs. C. Grandelmyer gave a farewell party to her daughter, Mrs. C. D. Parker, which was a very pleasant occasion. The house was nicely decorated. Progressive euchre was played. Mrs. J. J. Howe, Jr., winning first prize, and Mrs. A. F. Ferris second. Refreshments were served after which the company departed. (Brainerd Dispatch, 30 August 1895, p. 4, c. 4)

      Mrs. C. Grandelmyer's millinery establishment had a very narrow escape from destruction on Wednesday evening. A lighted lamp was placed under a quantity of paper patterns which hung on the wall and in a moment the patterns were a mass of fire. A pail or two of water put the fire out before the department arrived. (Brainerd Dispatch, 31 January 1896, p. 4, c. 3)

11 April 1905. The Christian Scientists of this city are to erect a new church on the lots which they bought recently of Mrs. C. Grandelmeyer on the corner of Eighth and Kingwood Streets North. It will be one of the prettiest churches in the city. (This Was Brainerd, Brainerd Dispatch, 11 April 2005)
