Catherine, Allen, & Elizabeth are buried at Hines Cemetery just off Alabama highway 21 in north Monroe County near the Wilcox County line. The Grimes that married Staceys were the children of William Grimes and Mary Jane Mims. At an old age, Mary Jane married George Washington Stacey, my g-g-g uncle. She told me Allen was born in 1795 and died in 1883.
The Grimes in Opp were Louie, grad. OHS abt 1960, and Bill, grad. OHS 1966. There was another brother named Joe but he was older and I didn't know him well. Two brothers, Nicky & Johnny Grimes, were several years younger. They were cousins to the others mentioned. Grimes Cemetery is located in section 32, Township 10 North, Range 10 East, Monroe County, Ala. It is on the east side of Alabama 21. Indian Springs Cemetery is located west of Ala. 21 on a dirt road approx. 1/2 mile north of the Grimes Cemetery.(from Steve Stacy12/23/1999 )
