Research Notes

GRIMSLEY, Cage - {from The Prairie Grove Herald] Mr. Cage Grimsley, a man about 60 years of age, was found dead in his field where he had been working near Lincoln yesterday evening. Mr. Grimsley had not been complaining and had been plowing corn in a field near his home all day. He returned to his home at noon in his usual good health and in the afternoon returned to his work in the field. When he failed to return home in the evening at his usual time the members of his family became alarmed and went in search of him. His body was found lying under a tree in the shade. It is supposed he became overheated and sought shelter from the sun in the shade of the tree, where death overtook him. He is survived by his wife and several children. [The Springdale News 7/16/1909]
