W. L. GROOVER PASSES

On Wednesday morning of last week, W.L. Groover, apparently in reasonable 
health, and after eating breakfast, walked out and was superintending some 
work, and was taken sick and asked one nearby to get him to the house. He 
was dead in 10 minutes, at his home at Lake Groover near Lithia Springs, 
Georgia. His body was interred beside that of his first wife at Antioch, 
near the scene of his boyhood.

Mr. Groover attached himself to the M.E. Church in early life and when quite 
a young man, he felt that God had laid his hand on him, and yielding to that 
call, he entered into the ministry and for 20 years he devoted his life to 
the cause of Christ, when he retired on account of bad health.

Mr. Groover is survived by his widow Mrs. Nettie Groover; five daughters, 
Mrs. Emma Hicks, Mrs. Kate Treese, Ms. Ola Campbell, Mrs. Farrell Groover, 
Miss Nell Groover; Q.P., W.G., Freeman, Willard, W.L., Phillip and Harlin 
Groover, and one sister Mrs. Sam Neely.
