Here the Grimmers operated a very successful tins-smith business for quite a number of years in the building now occupied by the Struthers firm. After retirement, Mr. and Mrs. Grimmer moved to Hall St. Mr. Grimmer passed away some years ago. The deceased was quite active in community work. She was quite prominent in the local Women's Institute and a past president of that organization. She was a member of Knox United Church and active in the women's organizations of the church. She was also a member of the Ayr Library Board. Before her husband's death the couple were very active lawn bowlers. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. W. D.
