Died of pneumonia at Mary Greeley Medical Center. He was a retired farmer, primarily livestock and grain, and a member of Fervent Masonic Lodge, collins Lions Club, Za-Ga-Zig Shrine and Scottish Rite Consistory.
He grew up on a farm 1/2 mile north of Rhodes and attended the Rhodes School. During the early years he walked to school and later rode in horse drawn buses. He graduated in 1920 from Rhodes High School.
The fall of 1920 he enrolled in Iowa State College at Ames. After his graduation from a general agriculture course in 1922, he returned home to help his father on the farm. His father purchased one of the first tractors and corn plows in the community and a corn picker was ordered through the local lumber yard owned by Ollie Luttikin. It arrived in several boxes and Grainger assembled it.
In 1942 the family sold the Rhodes farm and moved to a farm they had purchased near Collins.
