Notes for W. Oliver Grimes:

GRIMES, W. O., Private, Company "I", 6th WV Infantry. Private. Enlisted 7/1861; discharged 1864. Company "H", 17th WV Infantry. 1st Sergeant. Enlisted 3/1865; discharged 7/1865. Address: Address: Glen Easton, WV. 1890 Special Census - Cameron District

 

No business man in Marshall county is more thoroughly respected than W. O. Grimes, dealer in general merchandise at Glen Easton.  He is the son of John and Barbara (Hubbs) Grimes, the former of Washington County, Penn., and the latter of Belmont county, Ohio.  His grandfather, Isaac Hubbs, was a soldier in the war of 1812.  Owing to the fact that schools were few and far between, and the teachers, in many cases, incompetent, Mr. Grimes received a limited education.  His further advancement in this line was shortened by the brave step he took when but nineteen years of age, at which time he enlisted in the Third West Virginia infantry, Company I, and served with them until the discharge of the regiment in 1864.  But, still faithful in his country's hour of need, he re-enlisted in Company H, Seventeenth West Virginia infantry, and with it passed through the remaining trying years of the war, participating in the following engagements: Battles of Droop Mountain, Harrisburg, McDowell, and all of the principal battles in which his regiment was involved.  Mr. Grimes was an actor in the historic "Salem Raid," on which they were cut off from all supplies, and were forced to pull the heavy artillery over the mountains by hand, having no shoes for their feet, no food to satisfy the cravings of hunger, fording rivers through the ice, their feet frozen and their poor starved bodies benumbed with the biting cold.  It is honor enough for one man to be able to say that he formed one of the heroes of that expedition.  After the war Mr. Grimes traveled through the west for twelve years soliciting orders for nursery stock, in which he was very successful.  He then returned to the place of his selection, where he was married to Miss Martha Burley, the daughter of John and Susan (Ogle) Burley, old and highly respected residents of the county.  Mr. and Mrs. Grimes are the parents of four children: Susan, Charles, Elizabeth and Carton.  After his marriage he operated a farm for four years, then sold out and moved to Missouri, where he worked a farm for two years.  Again returning to Marshall county, he launched into the general merchandise business at Glen Easton, where he has since remained, having been very fortunate in his business.  Mr. Grimes is in the prime of life, having been born in 1842.  He is an honored member of the G.A.R., post No.77, and of the I.O.O.F., and is a staunch republican.

William visited his sister in Dallas Texas and then spent the summer of 1952 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. In the fall of 1952, he was sent back to Germany and was assigned to the new Corps area band for V Corps. This was the 84th Army Band. This band was stationed on the East German border area with the Armored Cavalry. The Armored Cavalry is the reconnaissance for the United States Seventh Army's V Corps. They have always been called the Border Belles!

 

While stationed with the 84th Army Band, it was located in a city named Fulda, Hessen, This city is famous for its Baroque architecture. It is also the seat of a Catholic Bishop. The young German fellow that then sang with his Chapel choir is Otto Carl Hartmann, today, one of Germany's best known opera tenors. He works at Radio Frankfurt.

 

Another very interesting personality that he had the privilege of meeting while being stationed in Fulda was a lovely table tennis champion; She had a fantastic fore hand slam and just as fantastic back hand slam. She also did beautiful and lovely needle-point with those hands. So he married her. She made him the proud father of two sons and proved that talented good fore hand and back hand slams makes a champ in other ways. His two sons found that is the trick of the champ in that you don't know which one is coming, the fore or the back. The first place in the United States that he brought his new wife was to Fort Lee, Virginia. To her, today, this is her home.

 

In April of 1964, he was again sent to Germany, Stuttgart, to be the First Sergeant of the famous (7 steps to hell) Seventh Army Band. While there, the band went to southern France to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Seventh Army world war II landings.

 

After leaving Stuttgart, he attended the advanced course (F-3) for senior NCO's at the School of Music at the Amphibious Base in Norfolk (Little Creek). From the school of Music, he went to Fort Bragg as a detachment first sergeant. From Fort Bragg, he went to Vietnam, to the 25th Infantry Division and the Tropic Lightning Band. He was the bands first sergeant and enlisted band leader for 1969 and 1970. In late 1970 he was sent one year at Fort Belvoir.

 

From Fort Belvoir, Virginia he returned to the 84th Army Band of V Corps again in Fulda. Along with many concerts, and parades both in Fulda and through-out the local area, the one thing he enjoyed most was taking his brass group to the border out posts in the Colonel's helicopter on Christmas Day. They played for the border troops but also for the people in East Germany, where carols is part of that religious opium of the mind.

 

In 1974, William and his family returned from Fulda Germany again to the 392nd Army Band at Fort Lee and the Petersburg area. On the first of March of 1976, he retired from military service as a Master Sergeant and made his home in Petersburg.

 

After his military retirement, he started attending school at John Tyler Community College and in September of 1977, he transferred to Virginia State University were he graduated from this school with a degree in library science.

 

He was a faithful member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer, Petersburg, Virginia from January 9, 1977 until his death on November 28, 1987, burial was December 01, 1987 in South Park, Petersburg, VA. He sang in the choir, served on the Church Council and as an active member of the Lutheran Church Men.
