John T. Grimes, 1st Lieut., Co. F, Sixth Iowa Infantry, was killed in the battle near Big Shanty, Georgia, on the 15th of June, 1864.
He was a good and brave officer, beloved by all who knew him. He was one of the many, who at the beginning of the war, had laid aside all party prejudices, and gave the Government that aid and support it so much needed.
He had been, for a long time, Inspector General on Gen. Corse’s staff, which place he filled with credit to himself. At the time of his death he was acting Adjt. of the Reg., our Adjt. having been killed a few days before, at the battle of Dallas Ga.
He has left a large circle of warm friends in the army, and we tender, to his bereaved relatives, our heart felt sympathies.
