My Genealogy Hound

GIMMY, ADAM. Deceased, who during his life was a prominent farmer within the borders of Greene County, was born in the kingdom of Bavaria, Germany, Aug. 25, 1822. But little of his early life can now be learned, and accordingly we enter into a short description relative to his career in America; during the winter of 1848 he worked at his trade, that of a shoemaker, at Cleveland, Ohio. Remaining one year at this city we next find him a resident of St. Louis, where he worked at his trade until his location in Carrollton, where he entered into partnership business with a brother, Frederick Gimmy. For that period of time the firm transacted a successful business. Dissolving partnership in 1853, Mr. Gimmy next turned his attention to farming, continuing in this vocation until resuming business in 1859 at Carrollton, where he conducted a successful merchandise until his decease, which occurred during the Spring of 1877, when all that was mortal of Adam Gimmy was laid at rest in the beautiful cemetery of Carrollton, a handsome monument marking the spot. The survivors of the family are Mrs. Gimmy, Adam, Mary B., Lewis F. and George. Adam, from whom this narration is obtained, embarked in his present business of grocer four years prior to the death of his father, and a more live, energetic business man it would be a hard matter to find; his stock of goods, always of the best, are bought low for cash, which customers will do well to note.
