Mr. Groves has been in declining health most of the winter, but only confined to his bed about ten weeks. He was raised in the Christian church and united with that church about 40 years ago. He has lived on the home place for 46 years where his family all grew to manhood and womanhood. He was quiet and obliging, always ready to help those in need. Never finding fault and always satisfied with what ever befell his lot. His wife preceded him in death six years ago. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Caroline McManis and Mrs. Louisia Rinabarger, both of Milton, Iowa. He was one of our early pioneers and suffered the privation and hardship of pioneer life. He will be greatly missed by his friends and neighbors who has known him and where he has lived so long. The funeral was held from the home Thursday morning at 10 a. m. conducted by Rev. P.M. Conant. Interment at the Groves cemetery nearby. I have left the spelling and grammar as close as possible to the original publication Obituary provided by Justina Vickerman -------------------------
