Rome Semi-Weekly Citizen Friday April 5, 1895
GEORGE GRIMM
VERNON - George Grimm, aged about 48, who lived just east of Vernon Village, committed suicide by hanging during Tuesday night. Mr. Grimm had asked a neighbor, Mr. Zimmer, to come to his house Wednesday and milk for him. When Mr. Zimmer arrived at the house about 6 o'clock he saw the body of Grimm hanging by the neck with a rope attached to a hook in the ceiling, Life was extinct. The suicide was evidently premeditated, as Grimm was seen about, carrying the rope with which he hung himself. He leaves his wife and eight children.
Grimm was a drinking man, and while on a spree abused his family terribly. Once he burned their clothes and drove them from the house. His neighbors were obliged to interfere and protect them. A week ago his wife and children left him on account of his brutality. His wife went to Syracuse and his children found temporary shelter at the home of John Stuhlman, They intended to join their mother this week. Most of the furniture had been taken from the house preparatory to its removal to Syracuse.
