Description

Grant lived in the County Hospital, Farmhurst, DE. Placed two ads on the same page (one ad for Mittie and Bakes, the other for Grimes).

On May 16, 1907, Grant placed this slightly more detailed information wanted ad for John Grimes:

WANTED-The address of John Grimes, Co. H., 24th U.S.C.T., who formerly lived on New York avenue, near 10th street N. W., Washington, D. C. Address Chas. W. Grant, New Castle County Hospital, Farmhurst, Del.

1910 U.S. census shows Charles Grant, colored, age 67, born MD, living in the County Alms House, New Castle County, DE. The State Hospital for Insane [in Farmhurst, DE] is enumerated on the next page, so the two institutions must have been attached or adjacent.
