A portrait of Catherine [Kahler] Grimm (1800-1880) and John Grimm (1795-1886) of Jackson Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The surname is often spelled as “Grim.”
The original, in a oval frame with “domed” glass, was passed down to descendants.
A son of John Grim and Catherine Grim was Solomon Grim (1826-1880). With Solomon’s wife, Mary Ann Grim, they had a daughter, Elizabeth E. Grim (1853-1924) who married Simon Samuel Travitz (1844-1917).
Simon Travitz and Elizabeth [Grim] Travitz had a son William Henry Travitz (1880-1968) who married Beulah Agnes Evitts (1890-1967).
The only child of William Henry Travitz and Beulah Agnes [Evitts] Travitz was Verna May Travitz (1912-2002).
Some of the Evitts family pictures that are posted on this blog are from those kept by Beulah Agnes [Evitts] Travitz. However, the one posted here of Catherine Grim and John Grim is not a direct ancestor of hers, but instead a portrait of her daughter’s great grandparents.
It is not know if the original still exists today.
