From the Files of 1920:
On Sunday, September 19, 1920 a big dinner was given at the home of William E. Grimmett, near Good Hope. The event was a surprise dinner in honor of the sixtieth birthday of Mr. W.E. Grimmett. The children combined their money for a handsome suit of clothes for their father and a lovely satin dress for their mother. The Grimmetts received the gifts with tears of gratitude in their eyes. Two long tables were placed on the front lawn for the food brought in to celebrate. About 50 people were present.
Mr. and Mrs. Grimmett are the parents of eleven children, all of whom are living. The youngest being 22 years old. A group picture was taken in Cullman before the evening meal at the Good Hope home.
