Monmouth Mother Hears News
Of Son in Santa Tomas Prison
MONMOUTH, Feb.. 24 Mrs. A. N. Poole of Monmouth has re
ceived telegrams statins that her. son, his wife and child are alive at
Manila, but through a misunderstanding of names, Kenneth Grimes
was listed as her son-in-law. This is erroneous, as he is her son by a
former marriage, v ; r -
A telegram received February 20, stated that Julia Grimes and
child had been rescued from Santa
Tomas prison, and listing Julia as
the daughter of Mrs., Poole. Julia
Grimes is her daughter-in-law, the
wife of Kenneth Grimes. As no
mention was tnade of Kenneth,
Mrs. Poole experienced some
received . February, 22, informed
her that Kenneth Grimes, former
ly of Santa Tomas prison, had
been rescued and his physical con-
dition was poor. The physical con
dition of Julia Grimes and child
were said to be fair. ' ;

Evidently the man was separat
ed from his wife and child." This
news ""ends a' long period of sus
pense for Mrs. Poole, who had pre
viously had no word from her son
and his family since the day after
Pearl Harbor, when they wrote
' that they had received passports
to sail for the United States in Jan
uary, 1942, because they were ex
pecting a child in the spring. Hear
ing no further word from them,
Mrs. Poole has been entirely un
. certain as to their fate.
Kenneth Grimes, a native of
Monmouth, is 33. He attended ele
mentary school here, entering Sa
lem schools when about 9, when
his mother moved there. He was
graduated from Salem high school
in June. 1931. and joined the arm?
tense hours until a second wirelair corps. In this connection he
went to Manila, and after complet
ing his three years in army ser
vice, he entered the employ of the
army and navy as a civilian work
er, and after serving as shop fore
man at Cavite, he became head
instrument technician at Nichols
Field. .. . "
In 1937 he was married to a girl
in Manila. Mrs. Poole received
last April a letter from Kermit
Kraus of New York city, a man
who had returned home on the
Gripsholm. He had been a good
friend of her son at Manila, and
wrote her to that effect, but had
then no current Information as to
the whereabouts of Kenneth and
his family.

from the provost marshal in! Wash
ington, DC,- who also informed her
that she might send a 25 word mes
sage, free, jfn answer to each wire,
which would be transmitted from
Washington to Manila. She has
also been advised helpfully by the
Red Cross that: letters and mes
sages to her son and his wife, will
be delivered through that organi
