Son of William Grimsley and Virginia Heaton.
"B. D. Grimsley, who had been for some time confined to his home with the afflictions incident to advanced age, passed away on Wednesday of last week at his home in Cunningham at the ripe old age of 84. A short funeral service was conducted Thursday at 2 p.m. by Rev. Siegel, after which he was laid to rest at Lakeside. He was a good citizen in all that the term implies; a kind husband and indulgent father, and died, as he lived, respected and loved by all who knew him." Chariton Courier, January 13, 1922
"Tuesday, February 27, 1917, was the eightieth anniversary of the birth of B. D. Grimsley, one of Missouri's grand old men. His good wife and children gave him a quiet and very pleasant surprise and four generations of this estimable family partook of a splendid dinner at the cozy home of the octogenerian.
Besides the parents, there were the only daughter, Mrs. R. I. Waugh and husband; the only son, Newton Long Grimsley and wife; only granddaughter, Mrs. Roy Waugh Southerland, husband and son, Byrl Waugh Southerland, the great-grandson and the pet of all; Mrs. Buckman of Hannibal, a friend of the family. Newton Long, a brother-in-law, was not present owing to afflictions.
Mr. Grimsley is a pioneer and a splendid historian of Chariton and adjoining counties, having driven a hack from Brunswick to Laclede in the early days when carrying the mail was fraught with many hardships and danger. He traveled bogs and swamps and crossed swollen streams on bridges, with only a cabin here and there to cheer his lonely ride that today is a land of beautiful homes, steel bridges and many towns.
Though being a staunch Democrat, he took up arms in defense of his country and would be willing to don the blue again if necessary. He was loyal to his country and is loyal to his friends and a lover of his home and family. While honoring the great men of the past and present, do not forget and offer many good wishes to and for Mr. B. D. Grimsley that he may be spared to his loved ones for many years."
