J.P. Groover, age 49, widely known Heflin citizen, died suddenly in an 
Anniston hospital at 10 o'clock Monday night where he was carried earlier in 
the day after being suddenly stricken on Sunday night. He had been in ill

He was born in Cullman county in 1886 and came to Cleburne with his parents 
in his early youth. Upon growing to manhood he engaged in the sawmill 
business and operated near Hopewell and also in Calhoun county for a number 
of years, moving to Heflin about 14 years ago.

Surviving are his widow and six children, Miss Miriam Groover of Birmingham;
