21 January 1920 Quite a gloom was spread over the whole district when it became known that Mr Harold Grimmer had passed away. He was taken ill on Sunday morning (11th January) and though everything was done that could be, it was of no avail, and he passed away on Thursday night. Harold was the third son of Mr Walter Grimmer, of Brookdale, Streamlands. He had spent all his life in Dome Valley. He was a citizen that we can ill spare. His industry is manifest by the appearance of his farm. He was kind-hearted and sociable and given to hospitality. He was beloved by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His place will be hard to fill. Those who knew him best loved him best. His kindly face and hearty manner will be missed for a long time.
For several years he had been secretary of the local picnic committee, and was treasurer of the Church of Christ, to which he belonged. The funeral, which took place on Sunday in Warkworth, was largely attended, and would have been more so if the time of the ceremony had not been altered. Mr Page, evangelist, conducted the service, assisted by Mr Latimer. "Asleep in Jesus" and "Sleep on, beloved" were sung at the graveside. In the afternoon a memorial service was held, the meeting house being filled. Mr Latimer presided, and Mr Page gave a splendid address, basing his remarks on James 4;14 - "For what is your life, it is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little while and then vanisheth away". He spoke of the high esteem in which deceased was held; of his uprightness and geniality and of the blank his death would make in the district. He spoke of the uncertainty of life, and exhorted all to be ready and to make good use of the time given. Concluding with the well-known lines of Longfellow - "Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime and departing leave behind us footprints on the sands of time"
To his wife and two little ones, his father, brothers and sisters we extend our warmest sympathy

Evidence was given by Dr Bull to the effect that Miss Grimmer's death was due to bronchial pneumonia and the jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes

1891 - 1912 Grace Myrtle Grimmer
- Myrtle died aged 20
25 Sep 1912 A further affliction has befallen Mr W. Grimmer and his family through the death of his daughter Grace in her 21st year. Miss Grimmer caught a severe cold and as time passed serious symptoms developed. It was thought best to try the air of the Waikato, but all to no purpose. While Miss Grimmer was part of the way on the homeward journey the end came. The interment took place in the Anglican cemetery on the arrival of the steamer on Monday. Mr W. Latimer of Port Albert, conducted the service and urged on the mourners presend need of preparation for the journey all must take. By the desire of the one who had gone, the hymn "Anywhere with Jesus, I am not afraid" was sung


Francesca died 21 May 1905 aged 50
27 May 1905 It was with regret that the many friends of Mr Grimmer and family learned of the death of Mrs W. Grimmer of Dome Valley at Auckland on Sunday. Mrs Grimmer had been ailing for the past 20 years. The body was brought to Warkworth on Monday last per s.s. Kapanui and taken out to deceased's late residence. A funeral service was held in the Christian Meeting House, Dome Valley, on Tuesday and deceased laid at her last resting place, the Angilcan cemetery, at 3 p.m. Deceased, who was only 50 years of age, leaces Mr Grimmer, five daughters and four sons to mourn their loss.
