Grandmother's gift sparked a lifelong relic quest in Ohio
Elmer Grimm, a 40-year-old Ohio Fuel Gas meter tech from Murray Ridge Rd, has turned his eight year old gift into a lasting passion for Indian relics. His three show cases hold about 25 fluted points over 14,000 years old, a 190 ivory teeth necklace, a Red Cloud buffalo bone piece with a signed document, and numerous artifacts. His wife Dorothy and children join weekend field hunts, as the Grimms travel yearly with a camping trailer to western relic sites, joined by four or five other local collectors.
