C. G. Grim, P.C. B. Super Dies Suddenly 
Claude Garrison Grim was born on August 10, 1903 in Coggen, Iowa. He entered 
mining engineering, his chosen profession, in early years by working in Morenci, 
Arizona, for the Phelps Dodge Copper Co., before his graduation from college. He 
married Rena Verone Ferguson in Morenci on the 25th of September, 1926. Their 
union has been blessed by two children, Robert, who died at an early age, and Gordon 
Frederick Grim, who is now a student at the University of Arizona. After their 
marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Grim returned to Ames, la., where he completed his studies 
and received his degree in mining engineering from Iowa State College. He was a 
member of Chi Phi Fraternity. 
After his graduation, Mr. Grim returned to Morenci but shortly thereafter moved to 
Carlsbad, New Mexico to take over haulage and production problems for the U. S. 
Potash Co. After five years with the Potash Company, he moved to Climax, Col., to 
become general mine foreman for the Climax Molybdenum Co. With experience 
gained over the years, Mr. Grim moved to Boron, Calif., in 1939 as Mine 
Superintendent for the Pacific Coast Borax Co. and shortly thereafter became General 
Superintendent of their Boron properties of the company.
Mr. Grim passed away on Saturday, September 8, 1951 while on vacation at
